Release The Will:Obedience, Control, and the Making of Moral Autonomy by Elven Drosar

A clear eyed inquiry into power, choice, and the quiet ways we learn to obey, Release The Will traces how control is built, taught, and finally unlearned. Elven Drosar guides the reader from the first tremor of personal will through mirrors of obedience, architectures of control, and the subtle lessons that turn language into a leash. With steady clarity, the book shows how shame shapes conscience, how the fear of chaos keeps us compliant, and how trust becomes the gravity that makes freedom possible.

Moving from the unseen curriculum of compliance to the mirror of resistance, Release The Will offers a path toward moral autonomy that does not depend on rebellion for its identity. It is a study in how to end where we must and begin again where we choose, how to set down the illusion of protection, and how to step across the threshold of release without abandoning responsibility. This is a work for readers who are ready to examine the systems inside and around them and to claim a will that is both firm and humane.
