DESCRIPTION:The study of human personality is flourishing. One area of par
 ticularly rapid growth has been the exploration of how personality differe
 nces are consequential for health and well-being.  I will explore the root
 s of this research and the routes it has taken.  I will then ensnare\, cap
 ture and poke some of the tacit assumptions underlying basic and applied a
 spects in this research agenda. The problems detected and solutions offere
 d will deal with the insufficiency of trait explanations of well-being\, t
 he necessity of exploring people’s personal projects in order to underst
 and and influence the shape of their lives\, and the need for couples\, fa
 milies and organizations to consider crafting a “Free Trait agreement”
  in order to promote sustainable development across the life-span.
