hierarchy of needs

so this guy named Abraham Maslow came up with this pyramid of human needs. he called it the hierarchy of needs. after coming out with an initial diagram of how these needs are set up, Maslow also proposed that there was an additional level for certain people (Meyer 2010). it was called self-transcendence, where people strive for meaning, purpose, and communion beyond their own self (Meyer 2010). here is a basic diagram to give you a more visual understanding.
