Abstract
This study presented an exploration into alternative values for personal growth that exist in leisure. An assumption was made that leisure provides the individual a basic opportunity to actualize his greatest potentialities towards an awareness of self and personal fulfillment. Positive, growth-producing qualities of leisure are presented as they have been experience and observed by the writer.
The recommendation is generally for the recognition of the need for a humanistic approach to leisure, and specifically for the need for those in the people-helping professions to assume some responsibility for the process of educating for leisure.
