In \u003ci\u003eFreely Determined\u003c\/i\u003e, research psychologist Kennon Sheldon argues that this perception is not only wrong but also dangerous. Drawing on decades of his own groundbreaking empirical research into motivation and goal setting, Sheldon shows us that embracing the ability to choose our path in life makes us happier, healthier, and more fulfilled. He also shows that this insight can help us choose better goals--ones that are concordant with our values and that, critically, we're more likely to actually see through. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eProviding readers insight into how they can live a more self-directed, satisfying life, \u003ci\u003eFreely Determined \u003c\/i\u003eoffers an essential guide for how we might recognize our freedom and use it wisely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kennon M.
