Hm, that’s a tough one.  When it comes to Maslow’s main findings, the real challenge is to express them in a succinct and clearly-understandable form.  

I’d start by saying that Maslow was one of the pioneers of humanistic psychology, and he studied human motivation and self-actualization.  He argued that we humans have innate tendencies to want self-development and to strive for what he called “self-actualization”.  We want to be better people, to feel capable and confident in our abilities, to feel that we’re contributing to society and making a positive difference, to experience healthy and positive relationships with other people, and to feel motivated and happy about our lives in general.  

Maslow proposed that self-actualization is made up of a number of distinct levels.  It starts with a desire for basic physiological needs to be met, and this includes things like food, shelter, and the ability to avoid danger and avoid pain.  Once those are satisfied, people begin to develop in other ways, and have different levels of motivation.  

For instance, on the first level, people may be motivated by the desire to satisfy basic biological needs, such as the need

That’s a complicated question.  One way to think about Maslow is that he looked at human motivation and behavior, and he concluded that the defining needs of humans, if not met, could lead to distress and disorder.  One way to think of that is that he established a list of “motivating forces”, which could be classed as “needs” if not met, and which were arranged in a hierarchical order.  He developed a kind of map of needs, which looked something like this:
