Free Will
96 pages, 2012
Takeaways
Description
In this book, author Sam Harris offers that believing in free will is akin to believing in a magic wand. The brain is simply a machine that processes information, based on physical laws of the universe. The concept of free will is nothing more than an illusion created by our minds, preventing us from seeing our true reality. Instead of accepting this, however, we must understand human behavior as it really is and use that information to forge better lives for ourselves and our families.
