Why Conor McGregor is Self-Actualizing

For more information on Self-Actualizing People, visit: https://www.romangelperin.com Conor McGregor is the perfect specimen of a Self-Actualized human being: A distinct type of person first identified by the psychologist Abraham Maslow in 1950. This video explains what Self-Actualization is, and why Conor McGregor is Self-Actualizing, through Conor and Maslow's own words. (Full quote citations below): M&P = Motivation and Personality, by Abraham Maslow, 2nd Edition FRoHN = Farther Reaches of Human Nature, by Abraham Maslow TaPoB = Toward a Psychology of Being, by Abraham Maslow, 2nd Edition First: The Self-Actualizing person, Maslow said, was the human being who had attained the highest level of psychological health. Which means, he is completely at peace with himself. He has no internal conflicts, existential anxiety, shame, or guilt. (M&P, page 155) Second: The Self-Actualizing person, Maslow said, is “secure and self-confident.” (M&P, page 207) Third: The Self-Actualizing person’s “behavior is marked by simplicity and naturalness.” They are “authentic . . . honest in the sense of allowing [their] behavior and [their] speech to be the true and spontaneous expression of [their] inner feelings.” (M&P, page 157; FRoHN, page 176) Fourth: Self-Actualizing people, Maslow wrote, were “robust, hearty, lusty individuals” . . . “hearty in their appetites and enjoying themselves without regret or shame or apology.” (M&P, pages 156, 175) Above all, Self-Actualizing people derive great joy from their lives. As Maslow said: “Self-actualizing people have the wonderful capacity to appreciate again and again, freshly and naively, the basic goods of life, with awe, pleasure, wonder, and even ecstasy, however stale these experiences may have become to others.” (M&P, page 163) Fifth: For all the great things that happen to them, Self-Actualizing people are, above all, humble. They are, as Maslow described it, profoundly “capable of ‘gratitude.’ The blessedness of their blessings remains conscious.” And “their sense of good fortune, of luck, of gratuitous grace," that all these things should have happened to them, leads to “[a] peculiar mixture of pride fused with humility.” (M&P, page xxi; FRoHN, page 293) And on the opposite extreme, they find it easy to maintain their calm and serenity, even in the face of great misfortunes, failures, and disappointments. (M&P, page 162) And at the center of all these people’s lives — and this is the most important thing—is that they have “some mission in life, some task to fulfill . . . which enlists much of their energies.” . . . “One gets the feeling of a beloved job, and, furthermore, of something for which the person is a ‘natural,’ something that he is suited for, something that is right for him, even something that he was born for.” (M&P, pp 159; FRoHN, page 291) Because these people have reached such a high level of personal development, “motivation [becomes for them] just character growth, character expression, maturation . . . in a word, self-actualization.” . . . “What such people do emanates from growth and expresses it without striving.” (M&P, pages 159, 198) It is because of this passionate dedication to his life's purpose, that “the self-actualizing person is," like Maslow said, "very different from other people in thought, behavior, [and] emotion. When it comes down to it, in certain basic ways he is like an alien in a strange land. Very few really understand him, however much they may be like him.” (M&P, pages 165-166) As Abraham Maslow concluded his 1950 paper: “What this has taught me I think all of us had better learn. There are no perfect human beings!” . . . "[Self-actualizing people] show many of the lesser human failings. They too are equipped with silly, wasteful, or thoughtless habits. They can be boring, stubborn, irritating. They are by no means free from a rather superficial vanity, pride, partiality to their own productions, family, friends, and children. Temper outbursts are not rare.” (M&P, pages 175-176) “I have the strong intuition,” Maslow wrote, “that such authentic, fully human persons are the actualization of what many human beings could be. And yet we are confronted with the sad fact that so few people achieve this goal. . . . We can be hopeful for mankind because in principle anybody could become a good and healthy [human being]. But we must also feel sad because so few actually do become good [humans]. If we wish to find out why some do and some don’t, then the research problem presents itself of studying the life history of self-actualizing [individuals] to find out how they got that way.” (TaPoB, page 163) And that is what I have done in my upcoming book: Self-Actualizing People in History.
