Why Robert Sapolsky’s Determined Is the Most Important Book on Human Behavior You Will Read This Year
About the Book
Determined is a bold and deeply researched book that challenges one of the most fundamental beliefs we hold about ourselves: that we are in control of our choices. Drawing from neuroscience, biology, psychology, and philosophy, Robert Sapolsky makes a compelling case that free will, as we understand it, simply does not exist. Far from being a bleak conclusion, this book opens the door to a more compassionate and honest understanding of why people do what they do.
From the Back Cover
Your every decision, from the smallest habit to the biggest life choice, was shaped by forces that began long before you were born. Determined asks what it truly means to live well, judge fairly, and treat others with kindness once we let go of the myth of free will.
