OPEN DISCUSSION: In an interview study, Pizzolato (2003) found that so-called high-risk college students often reached self-authorship prior to college as a result of experiencing challenging situations early in life that required them to make decisions and take action on their own.

Phase 3: Becoming the Author of One's Own Life
Individuals are grounded in their self-determined belief system, in their sense of who they are, and in the mutuality of their relationships. They experience feelings of peace, contentment, and inner strength. While aware of external influences, they are not greatly affected by them, because they trust their own feelings and act on them rationally.
