Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs — Easy, Memorable Guide
Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy explains human motivation in five stacked levels. Lower needs come first; higher needs emerge after the basics are met.
Memory hook: PSLES → Physiological, Safety, Love/Belonging, Esteem, Self-actualization.
The Five Levels
Self-Actualization
Esteem
Love & Belonging
Safety
Physiological
1) Physiological
- Air, water, food
- Sleep & health
- Shelter & clothing
- Reproduction
2) Safety
- Personal & financial security
- Health & well-being
- Safety nets
3) Love/Belonging
- Family & intimacy
- Friendship
- Community
4) Esteem
- Achievement & mastery
- Status & recognition
- Self-respect
5) Self-Actualization
- Personal growth
- Creativity & purpose
- Peak experiences
Quick Uses
- Work: secure pay & safety → recognition → growth.
- School: basics & safety first → belonging → achievement.
- Self: check PSLES; fill the lowest gap.
Critiques (Keep in Mind)
- Order can vary by culture/person.
- People sometimes chase higher needs before lower ones are fully met.
- Hard to test scientifically.
“What a man can be, he must be.” — A. Maslow
Tip: Revisit the pyramid when stuck—ask, “Which lower need is unmet?”
