Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, after fulfilling physiological, safety, love/belonging, and esteem needs, an individual may strive for self-actualization, which is the need to achieve one's full potential and goals. As Jonathan is wealthy, has a loving family, and enjoys his work, his physiological, safety, love/belonging, and esteem needs are likely fulfilled, making self-actualization the most likely motivator.
