Higher Self and Lower Self
According to Maslow, human needs
were arranged in a hierarchy,
with physiological (survival)
needs at the bottom, and the
more creative and intellectually
oriented ‘self-actualization’
needs at the top.
Maslow subsequently extended the
idea to include his observations
of humans' innate
curiosity.
