Publisher Description

“Gazzaniga is a giant in cognitive neuroscience . . . [He] advances a fascinating argument that both limits and contextualizes brain research.” —Forbes.com

The author of Human, Michael S. Gazzaniga has been called the “father of cognitive neuroscience.” In his remarkable book, Who’s in Charge?, he makes a powerful and provocative argument that counters the common wisdom that our lives are wholly determined by physical processes we cannot control. His well-reasoned case against the idea that we live in a “determined” world is fascinating and liberating, solidifying his place among the likes of Oliver Sacks, Antonio Damasio, V. S. Ramachandran, and other bestselling science authors exploring the mysteries of the human brain.

“This exciting, stimulating, and sometimes even funny book challenges us to think in new ways about that most mysterious part of us—the part that makes us think we’re us.” —Alan Alda, actor and host of Scientific American Frontiers

“Written by one of the broadest thinkers in psychology . . . An intellectual feast.” —Jonathan Haidt, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Righteous Mind

“Gazzaniga is one of the most brilliant experimental neuroscientists in the world.” —Tom Wolfe

“An utterly captivating and fascinating read that addresses issues of consciousness and free will and, in the end, offers suggestions as to how these ideas may or may not inform legal matters.” —The Daily Texan

“Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, as well as ethics and law, [Gazzaniga] offers a deeply considered case for human responsibility.” —The Charlotte Observer
