Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs outlines 5 levels of human needs: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. The model proposes that people are motivated to fulfill lower level basic needs before progressing on to meet higher level growth needs. Over time, other researchers have expanded on Maslow's original 5-tier model by adding additional stages to the hierarchy.
2. Abraham Maslow published a book in
1954 called Motivation and Personality
which introduced the Hierarchy of

Everyone starts at the lower level of the
pyramid. Then moves up by satisfying
those needs to progress to the higher
levels.
