Abhishek Sareen discusses his theory of a human need nobody talks about – need for spreading self-information: why we have it & how it’s expressed.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t come across this theory or need a refresher, let me begin by telling you about renowned psychologist, Abraham Maslow, who proposed this theory in psychology, called \u201cHierarchy of Needs\u201d. According to this theory, all of humans needs can be classified in a pyramid depending on how important they are.<\/p>\n

At the bottom of the pyramid, he placed the most basic physiological needs like food, air, shelter, water, etc. that humans can\u2019t live without. This is followed by the need for safety and security. In the middle are the needs for love and belonging, like family, community acceptance or friendship. Towards the top of the pyramid are the need for self-esteem, followed by self-actualization \u2013 the highest human need. Now, this is all very good.
