Human potential movement

Cultivating extraordinary potential that its advocates believe to lie largely untapped in all people.

The Human potential movement (HPM) arose out of the counterculture of the 1960s and formed around the concept of an extraordinary potential that its advocates believed to lie largely untapped in all people. The movement takes as its premise the belief that the development of their "human potential" can contribute to a life of increased happiness, creativity, and fulfillment, and as a result, such people will be more likely to direct their actions within society toward assisting others to release their potential.
