ABSTRACT
People were born to choose. And choose they do, from birth to death each human being spends every second of his or her life making choices. Life involves choices, such as who one associates with, how one raises children or how one practices one's religion, as well as how one moves through an average day, deciding what time to get up, when to head to bed, what clothes to wear and how to entertain oneself in the evening. Most social scientists have approached choice-making as if it was a process with a definable beginning, middle and end point; a person is confronted with a problem, ponders it and then chooses. A truly comprehensive model of human choice-making needs to provide an understanding of all choices made, not just the exceptional choices. Well-Being Systems emerge from the complex interactions of the five ingredients; Choices and resulting Actions are always the result of a whole, integrated, purposeful process.
