Optimal Human Being: An Integrated Multi-level Perspective

byKennon Sheldon

Optimal Human Being brings Kennon Sheldon's attention to the integrated multi-level perspective, treating the subject as a developing story rather than a settled conclusion. The argument in Optimal Human Being develops through behavioral research, philosophical inquiry, and revealing examples, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the integrated multi-level perspective to larger questions in psychology, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences. Rather than reducing its subject to a single lesson, Optimal Human Being preserves its contradictions and shows why they remain important.
