Summary:
The book presents Maslow's hierarchy of needs, a framework proposing that human behavior is motivated by a series of five basic needs: physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. It explores how these needs must be fulfilled in sequence, with the satisfaction of lower-level needs preceding the pursuit of higher-level psychological and self-fulfillment needs.
Key points:
1. Needs Hierarchy: Maslow's theory features a pyramid of needs, starting with basic physical needs and ending with self-actualization. People must fulfill lower needs before addressing higher ones.
