Show the answer
- Physiological needs (food, water)
- Safety needs
- Love and belonging
- Esteem
- Self-actualization

Maslow's pyramid runs physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization at the summit. Lower needs generally become motivating priorities before higher ones - though Maslow treated this as a tendency, not an iron law.
