Abraham Maslow Biography

Abraham Maslow was a psychologist known for his theory of the hierarchy of needs, outlining the steps toward self-actualization. He analyzed achievers, finding them to be reality-centered. His work explored themes of "peak experiences" that are not limited to the religious or supernatural, cautioning against the potential for selfishness in the pursuit of personal salvation. Maslow also delved into questions about why individuals fail to self-actualize even when basic needs are met, and how to humanistically understand the problem of evil.
