Self-actualisation needs. These are a person's desire to become everything he or she is capable of becoming - to realize and use his or her full potential, capacities, and talents. This need can only be addressed when the previous needs have been satisfied. It is rarely met completely; Maslow himself estimated that less than 1% of adults achieve total self-actualisation.

What it the third level of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?

Social needs. Sometimes these are referred to as the love and belonging needs. These include needs for belonging, love, and affection. Maslow considered these needs to be less basic than physiological and security needs. Relationships such as friendships, romantic attachments, and families help fulfill this need for companionship and acceptance, as does involvement in social, community, or religious groups. In the workplace, employers help fulfill these needs by creating a sense of community via team-based projects and social events. When people's social needs are not met, they tend to be unhappy. This leads to loneliness, social anxiety, and depression.
