behavior pyramid



written in 1954, Motivation and Personality,
by Abraham Maslow, contains what the
author proposed as a hierarchy pyramid
representing various needs that motivate
human behavior.

at the top of the pyramid is self-actualization;
basically to become everything one is capable
of becoming

* esteem needs-
the human desire to be accepted and valued
by others. also the value of self-esteem
and self-respect.

* love and belonging-
generally involving family, intimacy and
friendship.

*Safety needs-
among these are health, personal and
financial security and also accident
avoidance.
* biological & physiological needs-
certainly the most obvious and
required for survival.
air, water and food, shelter, sleep
and to propagate future generations,
sex
quite the fascinating approach,
considering it was conceived
over 50 years ago.
