  1. Abraham Maslow Hierarchy of Needs

  2. His Theory • One of the many interesting things Maslow noticed while he worked with monkeys early in his career, was that some needs take precedence over others.  For example, if you are hungry and thirsty, you will tend to try to take care of the thirst first… 

  3. Continued • After all, you can do without food for weeks, but you can only do without water for a couple of days!  Thirst is a “stronger” need than hunger. 

  4. Physiological Needs • These include the needs we have for oxygen, water, protein, salt, sugar, calcium, and other minerals and vitamins. • Also, there’s the needs to be active, to rest, to sleep, to get rid of wastes, to avoid pain…

  5. Safety Needs • When the physiological needs are largely taken care of, this second layer of needs comes into play.  You will become increasingly interested in finding safe circumstances, stability, protection.  You might develop a need for structure, for order, some limits.

  6. Love and Belonging Needs • You begin to feel the need for friends, a sweetheart, children, affectionate relationships in general, even a sense of community.  Looked at negatively, you become increasing susceptible to loneliness and social anxieties.

  7. Esteem Needs • Next, we begin to look for a little self-esteem.  Maslow noted two versions of esteem needs, a lower one and a higher one.  The lower one is the need for the respect of others, the need for status, fame, glory, recognition, attention, reputation, appreciation, dignity, even dominance.  The higher form involves the need for self-respect, including such feelings as confidence, competence, achievement, mastery, independence, and freedom.

  8. Self Actualization • Becoming the best person that you possibly can be • Developing confidence, using talents wisely, improving your attitude, and being able to like yourself and others • Self actualization is a step which we never completely reach • It is a continual process of self-improvement, a lifelong effort
