Starting from the lowest level
- Physiological Needs
- Security and Safety Needs
- Social Needs
- Esteem Needs
- Self- actualization Needs
- Self- transcendence Needs
The originally featured hierarchy in a shape of a pyramid does not include "self-transcendence". The first five levels are the only needs featured and shown in most textbooks. However, near the end of Maslow's life, he amended his model and added 'self-transcendence' as the highest level of the hierarchy.
