A person sitting at a desk with a laptop, holding their head in frustration. Papers and a coffee cup are on the desk, and a speech bubble above shows tangled lines, symbolizing confusion or stress.
A pyramid chart displaying six levels from bottom to top: Physiological, Safety, Love/Belonging, Esteem, Self-Actualization, and Self-Transcendence, representing an extended version of Maslows hierarchy of needs.
A person rides a bicycle on a road surrounded by large green trees, with sunlight filtering through the branches, creating a peaceful and natural atmosphere.
A person sits at a desk using a laptop next to a cat, with various books and papers spread out, and a coffee cup nearby, by a window with sunlight streaming in.
