Freely Determined: What the New Psychology of the Self Teaches Us About How to Live

byKennon Sheldon

Kennon Sheldon's Freely Determined investigates what the new psychology of the self teaches us about how to live, grounding a large subject in the people and choices that shaped it. Using scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, Freely Determined moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Freely Determined within philosophy and psychology, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Freely Determined emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
