The belief in free will touches on almost everything that people value. It is difficult to think about ethics, justice, politics, religion, personal relationships, and to recall feelings of remorse or personal success without first feeling that each person is indeed the true source of their thoughts and actions.

However, the evidence provided by science tells us that free will does not exist and is an illusion. In this enlightening book, the author claims that this truth about the human mind does not undermine our moral substance and does not diminish at all the importance that social and political freedom have for us.

On the contrary, it can and should change the way we think and provide answers to some of the most significant questions concerning our lives.
