DESCRIPTION:One of the most enduring and consequential theories of well-be
 ing is that it is deeply influenced by stable traits of personality. In th
 is presentation I will prod and poke at this notion of fixed traits of per
 sonality and then propose an alternative view. This perspective\, a social
  ecological one\, highlights the importance of free traits and personal pr
 ojects in our personal and professional lives. Free traits\, which advance
  our core personal projects\, may enhance our well-being and the prosperit
 y or our institutions. But unless they are managed well\, they can also br
 ing us to our knees.
