Atman is the Hindu concept of "real self", or the purest essence of an individual. A person's emotions, feelings, and thoughts are not considered atman - those are Maya, or illusions. The ulimate goal of Hinduism is to break free from Maya and the cycle of reincarnation and unite with Brahman, the Absolute Reality, which is identical to atman. Thus, self-actualization through meditation and self-discipline is key in order to be one with Brahman.
