Beschreibung des Verlags
Brought to you by Penguin.
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

Kundenrezensionen
Please voice footnotes
To Pinguin Audio: please make a version with footnotes included.
Disclaimer: I listened to only 30% of the book as of this moment. The book is great, as I expected from Dr Sapolsky. No doubt in that.
But the frequency of "check PDF for a footnote" phrase is driving me crazy! Moreover, I red Dr Sapolsky's books. I know for sure that the most interesting and funniest moments are in the footnotes.
So, please do considering creating a version of this audiobook with footnotes included.
Meh
I just hate the way the author includes one-sided subjective political agenda into a highly scientific topic
