He was the first of seven children born his parents pushed him hard for academic success. He married Bertha Goodman, his first cousin they moved to Wisconsin so that he could attend the University of Wisconsin where He became interested in psychology. He was soon well-known for his conceptualization of a "hierarchy of human needs" he is considered the father of humanistic psychology.

This is the hierarchy of human needs; Maslow’s theoretical pyramid of human needs included the following
• At the bottom of the hierarchy are the "Basic needs or Physiological needs" of a human being: food, water, sleep and sex.
• The next level is "Safety Needs: Security of: body, employment, resources, morality, family, health, property and Stability". These steps are important to the physical survival of the person. Once individuals have basic nutrition, shelter and safety, they are willing to accomplish more.
• The third level of need is "Love and Belonging", which are psychological needs; friendship, family and sexual intimacy when individuals have taken care of themselves physically, they are ready to share themselves with others.
• The fourth level is achieved when individuals feel comfortable with what they have accomplished. This is the "Esteem" level; this means we require respect and recognition from others and a sense of our own accomplishment and worth.
• At the top of the pyramid, "Need for Self-actualization" occurs when individuals reach a state of harmony and understanding because they are engaged in achieving their full potential. Once a person has reached the self-actualization state they focus on themselves and try to build their own image.
