One of the founders of the human potential movement,

Abraham Maslow is best known for his work on human

motivation. He was fascinated by what makes some people face

huge challenges in life, and what makes them refu to give up

despite incredible odds. He developed the model for which he is

best known – his hierarchy of needs, to explain the forces that

motivate people.

Maslow believed that you must first satisfy your basic

physiological needs for air, water, food, sleep, and so on before

any other desires can surface. As a member of modern society,

the basic needs are largely taken care of you, but if you have

ever been short of breath under water you know and understand

how this first-tier, physiological need dominates everything el

until it is satisfied.

But once your physiological needs are met, you

automatically shift up to the next level in the hierarchy to your

need for safety, -and that now drives you. Again, modern society

tends to provide safe environments, but whenever you do feel

threatened, you experience an automatic physical respon and

cannot think of much el until the situation is resolved and you

feel safe again.

At the next level, you have to make more personal

interventions to ensure your needs are satisfied within the

framework that society provides for you. Your needs for love and

connection show up here; things you don’t automatically get all

the time. If your needs at this level are unsatisfied, and you feel

isolated or lonely, you find it almost impossible to meet your

higher-level needs in any meaningful way.

The next level is where your needs for lf-esteem and

recognition kick in. The may never have been an issue for you

as you struggled to join your group, but now they can become

dominant. It is no longer enough simply to belong; now you must

have some power and status in the group too – drive a bigger car,

become captain of the golf club perhaps.
