How did personal experiences impact Mill's work on liberty?

Personal experiences greatly impacted Mill's work, especially his crisis of faith in his twenties, which was partly addressed through engagement with the works of the Romantic poets and philosophers. This personal tribulation led him to appreciate the importance of individual emotional and intellectual development, influencing his later work 'On Liberty,' where he articulates the necessity of personal freedom for human flourishing.
