The Human Potential Movement

The Human Potential Movement is a social and cultural phenomenon that emerged in the 1960s, focused on maximizing individual capabilities and self-actualization. It encompasses a variety of practices, including personal development, self-help, psychotherapy, and holistic health. The movement emphasizes the belief that people can improve their lives and fulfill their potential through self-discovery, creativity, and personal growth.
