Detailed Explanation
Understanding Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
According to Abraham Maslow, human needs are categorized into two main groups:
- Deficiency Needs (D-needs): These include physiological and safety needs, which arise due to deprivation.
- Growth Needs (B-needs): These include self-actualization, which drives personal growth and potential.
Self-Actualization is at the very peak of the hierarchy. It is not motivated by a lack of something, but rather by the desire to fulfill one's unique potential, creativity, and self-fulfillment.
