Chapter EightThe Self in a Social World
**People dont express their real feelings and beliefs.
If they did, they say, they would feel selfish or guilty, and people wouldnt like them.
Can you be who you really want to be?
Do people really know who you are?
If not, its called ego-involvement and it undermines intrinsic motivation.

Being Autonomous Amidst the Controls

Chapter Thirteen
The Meaning of Human Freedom
Some people have belief that all they want in life is to be happy.
Happiness is not all that its cracked up to be and most people dont really want to be happy all the time anyway.
People often choose to go to movies that are very unsettling, that terrify, sadden, disgust, or anger them.
There is something about experiencing these emotions whether in the safety and comfort of a theater or at a dangerous mountain pass that is appealing to many people.
When people only want happiness, they actually undermine their own development.
