Abraham Maslow a famous psychologist developed a theory of psychological health predicated on fulfilling and mate human needs and priority culminating in self-actualization this theory is also referred to as Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

According to Maslow there are six different tiers. All of which contain different sets of needs and know no matter what your kid says a cell phone is not a need.

The first tier is called psychological needs and it refers to the basic needs necessary to stay alive such as air water food sleep and so forth. This tier is pretty apparent as you cannot live without meeting these needs. Why else would we have beds and breakfasts.

The second tier is safety needs once you've satisfied these psychological needs the safety needs must be met this tier includes things like house resources such as employment and being able to secure your property as sad as it might sound.

Once you've got those needs satisfied there is a new set of needs called love and belongingness as you can see in the third tier it includes needs like having good friends and a good relationship with your family and sexual intimacy hence why women leave when you don't meet their needs.

The fourth tier is esteem and the needs that Maslow described are also referred to as what I'd like to call the ego. Maslow emphasizes the needs of recognition status importance confidence and respect from others only after those needs are relatively satisfied.

The next tier on the hierarchy is self-actualization here an individual feels the need to be more creative to develop a higher sense of morality to be more spontaneous to solve problems to make discoveries to accept facts and it feels the need to contribute to the society.

Finally the last tier self-transcendence is all about true spirituality and enlightenment in this tier you feel the need of becoming more aware to develop unconditional love and to attain new levels of consciousness.
