| Abstract: | Starting with the classic philosophical notion that moral principles are a set of guidelines for making choices that have genuine happiness or emotional well-being as their effect, this study explores the relationship between volitional behavior and the quality of human life. Examining the case histories of 100 individuals drawn from a clinical population, the author identifies seven types of volitional behavior that undermine a person's happiness. Six basic principles for making choices that maximize the potential for becoming and remaining happy are described. The implications of clinically formulated principles of morality for prevention, education, and public policy are explored. |
