Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology, proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation.[2] Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity. His theories parallel many other theories of human Developmental psychology, all of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans.

Maslow studied what he called 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."[3] Maslow also studied the healthiest 1% of the college student population.[citation needed]

Maslow's theory was fully expressed in his 1954 book Motivation and Personality.[4]

Nice. I've been racking my brain trying to think of a chain of hierarchy of needs we once went over in class a long time ago because it came up in mind for some reason. I didn't know where to begin looking but I think this is it.

So this is the order according to Maslow. I was curious where love was placed and what was at the top. The placement of self-actualization and esteem seem close for me, it's hard to tell which outweigh the other.
