Maslow's hierarchy of needs states that lower needs must be met before higher needs, but exceptions exist where individuals can achieve self-actualization despite unmet lower needs.
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, lower needs must be met before higher needs. While Maslow believed that individuals must progress through basic physiological, safety, love and belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization needs in that order, there are exceptions where individuals living in poverty, like artists and authors such as Vincent van Gogh and Rembrandt, still achieve self-actualization despite struggling to meet lower needs. Therefore, it is not always a strict progression as Maslow initially proposed.
