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 joy to read. It's impossible to recommend this book too highly. Reading it could change your life’ LAURENCE REES

‘Outstanding for its breadth of research, the liveliness of the writing and the depth of humanity it conveys’ Wall Street Journal

‘Moving, absorbing, compassionate' OLIVER BURKEMAN, Observer

[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)

Not a serious argument for its premise; it basically tells us that no such argument is needed. This instead is a quick review of the coolest findings in nature (and the lab) that relate to the topic. Repeating: "please see the pdf footnote" every second sentence is unforgivable. But (despite that stubborn choice) there is too much riveting material in here to make me stop listening (though I was tempted a few times).

Unserious but passionate and fascinating

Every 5 minutes, it says the same thing. Curiously the pdf does not even include a list of chapters or references list. People have got to get better at audio books.

This book is a gift to humanity and life on our planet. Thank you to the author for bringing such humour, wisdom and compassion to our understanding of our greatest difficulties and successes.

Enjoyed it immensely. Some might claim it takes a rather leftist position. For those enjoying this, check out 'The Genetic Lottery' and ''The Tyranny of the Meritocracy'. Also, obviously, anything you have not already read by Richard Dawkins.

...even if you already don't believe in free will. Contains interesting facts and observations about why we do what we do and also why it seems unpredictable. In the later part of the book he engages in a discussion about the implications for the criminal system, the idea of revenge, etc.

Worth reading...
