About Maslow:
Abraham Maslow was an American psychologist who developed a "Hierarchy of Needs” to
explain human motivation. His theory suggested that people have a number of basic needs
that must be met before people move up the hierarchy to pursue more social, emotional, and
self-actualizing needs.

Maslow first introduced his concept of a Hierarchy of Needs in his 1943 paper “A Theory of
Human Motivation” and his subsequent book Motivation and Personality.
