The esteemed psychologist Abraham Maslow believed we have an inner core guiding us towards our deepest values in life.

But this inner core is delicate and can be overpowered by societal pressure and the inputs of others. Mainly because, since children, we’ve been imitating others.

Maslow believed in the same way as an acorn was guided to become an oak tree, so too we are guided by this inner core towards self-actualisation.

So if these value intuitions are what lead to a meaningful life, but they’re incredibly delicate, how can we uncover and protect them?
