One of the greatest scientists of human behavior, the bestselling author of the book Behave, proves that free will does not exist - and highlights the troubling yet liberating consequences of accepting this fact. "One of the best scientist-writers of our time" OLIVER SACKS.

What if free will is an illusion? As Robert Sapolsky shows in this masterful narrative of the science of human behavior, 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 the concepts of choice, responsibility, morality, and justice. Sapolsky's remarkable book does just that, guiding us toward a deeply fairer and more humane way of living together.
