fascinating question! i come at it from the traumatized brain perspective. the idea from dan siegel as i understand it is that a child's brain that develops with secure attachment is very different from the brain of a child neglected and abused. but the traumatized brain, with diligent use of mindfulness meditation, comes to share many of the neural pathways associated with positive psychology. so if we can "choose" to change our brains, and "decide" to follow new paths, and "discipline" more healthy response patterns--are we thus exercising free will?
