It’s become fashionable to argue that free will is a fiction: that we humans are in the thrall of animal urges and unconscious biases and only think that we are choosing freely. Kennon Sheldon argues that this perception is not only wrong but also dangerous. Drawing on decades of his own research, 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 we’re more likely to actually see through.

Using recent findings from neuropsychology, this book shows that who we are psychologically starts with the early presence of an easily aroused fear/anxiety system. It goes on to discuss how clinicians can view people's difficulties with self-confidence and identity, and how self-destructive patterns can be traced back to these systems and what clinicians can do to help. It also touches on intergenerational transmission of trauma, as well as people's responses to COVID-19, PTSD, and real and imagined threats.

Klimakrise, tab af natur og biodiversitet og menneskelig mistrivsel handler alt sammen om, at noget er galt. Det kunne se ud, som om det er verden, der er kaotisk, men sådan forholder det sig ikke. Det kaotiske er i os mennesker - det er os, der skaber ubalance og kaos i omgivelserne, og derfor er det os, der må ændre radikalt på den måde, vi er i verden på. Det handler i meget høj grad om, at vi skal give slip på gamle indlærte vaner og mindske vores egoisme og grådighed.
