The 10% thing is a myth in the sense that there is no hard figure for the extent to which we use the brain's potential and there are no parts of our brain that go unused, but it is not a myth in the implication that most of us have minds with serious untapped potential. I imagine if one were to fully quantify how much of that potential is used by the average person, we would find a figure that is actually much less than 10%.
