Maslow's paper was largely about his theories on basic human needs, and how they affect human motivation and behavior.
His theory contends that as humans meet "basic needs," they seek to satisfy successively "higher needs" that occupy a set hierarchy.
Maslow studied exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people, writing that "the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy." (Motivation and Personality, 1987).
The basic hierarchy of needs is as follows:
1. Physiological
2. Safety
3. Love/Belonging
4. Esteem
5. Actualization
While knowing the structure of this hierarchy alone is not going to bring you greater home business success, knowing how it affects the people around you can bring you rewards in all areas of your life.
