Optimal Human Being
An Integrated Multi-level Perspective
Book • 2004
Optimal Human Being by Ken Sheldon addresses two key questions: how individuals can integrate their different facets to achieve optimal human being, and how researchers can integrate various levels of analysis in the human sciences.
The book presents a multi-level model that spans from biological to social levels, examining personality through four tiers: organismic foundations, personality traits, goals/intentions, and self-concepts.
It concludes with higher levels of analysis involving social interaction and culture, proposing a new profile of optimal human being.
