One of the world’s greatest scientists of human behaviour, the bestselling author of Behave, shows that free will does not exist - and sets out the disturbing yet liberating implications of accepting this fact.

What if free will is an illusion? As Robert Sapolsky shows in this masterful account of the science of human behaviour, everything we think and do is caused by the luck of our biology and the influence of our environment, and ultimately both are beyond our control. In a world without free will, we must completely rethink what we mean by choice, responsibility, morality and justice. Sapolsky’s extraordinary book does exactly this, guiding us toward a profoundly fairer, more humane way of living together.

[A] highly entertaining account of why … we should and must overcome the infuriating conspiracy of mind that insists we are the authors of our actions. Anyone who believes otherwise needs to read it (Philip Ball)
Wonderfully readable ... humorous and warm and humane (Justin Webb)

A really great book that I really appreciated. I mostly regret that it sometimes didn’t go all the way in its thinking. I don’t think you go out of this book with your opinion shattered as you should. But mostly the book is great and synthesise a great number of studies. The performance is also quite satisfying.

Good book but don’t go all the way

Every minute we hear “Please see the accompanying PDF for a footnote.” We get it! There is a PDF with references. How about saying so at the start and then never say it again? It is impossible to get any flow when we’re trying to listen and make sense of what is being said.

Very hard to get into
