Maslow (Abraham Maslow)

Abraham Maslow was a psychologist who developed a theory called the "Hierarchy of Needs," which describes human motivation. He believed that people have different levels of needs, starting with basic survival needs like food and safety. Once these are met, individuals seek social connection, esteem, and eventually self-actualization—fulfillment of their potential. The hierarchy is often visualized as a pyramid, with fundamental needs at the bottom and personal growth at the top. Maslow’s model helps explain why people pursue certain goals and how fulfilling basic needs enables us to achieve higher levels of personal development.
