No matter where you look, people are happier and higher functioning when they feel autonomous in what they're doing. But we don't want to equate autonomy and selfish, hedonism or narcissism. They're two very different concepts. Autonomy just means getting to the place where you are owning and being responsible for what you're doing. You would want to be in that place except when maybe when we're making excuses. We'll be better off if we accept the consequences of the choices that we're making. Otherwise, we can't learn from them.
