Determined

One of the world's greatest scientists of human behavior, 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 demonstrates in this masterful account of the science of human behavior, everything we think and do is caused by the luck of our biology and the influence of our environment, both of which are ultimately 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 towards a profoundly fairer, more humane way of living together.
