Description
Does free will exist? The question has fuelled debates spanning from philosophy to psychology and religion. The answer has major implications, and the stakes are high. This book suggests there is powerful evidence that conscious decisions play an important role in our lives, and knowledge about situational influences can allow people to respond to those influences rationally rather than with blind obedience. The text also explores the meaning and ramifications of free will.
