Human Motivation
According to Abraham Maslow's 1943 Theory of Human Motivation,[1] humans are motivated by a set of biologically rooted needs that they are driven to fulfill. Fulfilling these needs creates healthy, happy, fully realized human beings. Thwarting these needs creates miserable, diminished, neurotic and psychotic human being.
