    Maslow's hammer refers to a cognitive bias where people rely too heavily on familiar tools or methods to solve problems. It is based on a quote from Abraham Maslow: "If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail." This bias, also known as the law of the instrument, causes people to approach every problem as if it can be solved by their primary tool or approach, regardless of whether that is the most appropriate solution.
