Basic human needs

The need personifies the inner state of a person when he feels a certain lack of something. Satisfaction of existing needs leads to active action. Since birth, a person experiences basic needs: to breathe, to drink, eat, sleep, etc. Over time, this list is expanding and changing.

What are the basic needs of a person?

Realization of existing needs allows you to feel positive emotions , otherwise a person feels negative, which can lead to depression. That's why experts advise paying attention to all existing needs, rather than concentrating on just one specific goal. It is believed that all existing needs are interrelated, and if not implemented alone, then others will not be available. The best theory was explained by the psychologist Maslow , who offered his pyramid. It is worth noting that one and the same basic needs for one person are manifested in a greater degree, and in another - in less. That's why all people are different, and someone is successful in one area, and someone can not go even to the next step.
