Above is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs which is a theory of motivation in psychology. Maslow theorized that folks need physiological needs met first before being concerned about safety needs. He also felt that the bottom level needs (the bottom 3 levels) decrease as needs are met and the top 2 levels are growth needs for which motivation increases as needs are met.
Raw vegan recipe creator, Amanda Nicole Smith has her own version of this pyramid depicted here (scroll down to the LEARN section to see it). On this episode of the Raw Food Health Empowerment Show, she explains how her personal journey led her to remix Maslow’s pyramid the way she did. My mom mentioned how her version would basically be Amanda’s pyramid upside down.
The Institute of Integrative Nutrition forgoes the pyramid and instead utilizes a circle called the Circle of Life. You can explore the interactive tool for yourself here.
All of these tools really are for us (humans) to explore what we need to experience a fulfilled life and be more of ourselves, aka self-actualized.
