From the New York Times bestselling author of The End of Faith, a thought-provoking, “brilliant and witty” (Oliver Sacks) look at the notion of free will—and the implications that it is an illusion.

A belief in free will touches nearly everything that human beings value. It is difficult to think about law, politics, religion, public policy, intimate relationships, morality—as well as feelings of remorse or personal achievement—without first imagining that every person is the true source of his or her thoughts and actions. And yet the facts tell us that free will is an illusion.

In this enlightening book, Sam Harris argues that this truth about the human mind does not undermine morality or diminish the importance of social and political freedom, but it can and should change the way we think about some of the most important questions in life.

Excellent and concise book! I want more... why isn’t there more?! However, Harris wasn’t free to wrote more than the amount he did.

To damn short! I want more!

If we don’t have free will how will this impact the making of AI robots and .. will AI robots have free will or not? And if they don’t, would this be reason enough not to create such a technology? However, I guess the decisions to continue AI projects is already determined?

Harris takes his arguments about the freedom of will in Moral Landscape and discharges them with added discussion, once again with great erudition and crisp logical consistency. I have been totally convinced by this book, and therefore – and if Harris’ thesis is correct – I had no freedom to choose otherwise.

Absolutely compelling

I have read (listened) to this book several times. I re-listen when I feel frustrated when I do something stupid...lol. Sam makes a compelling argument for our complete lack of free will. It’s short and very thought provoking. I enjoy reading things that challenge my preconceived perceptions on what we are all about. #audilbe1

Determinism may possibly shake up everything as Darwin did. But likely the majority will not accept it. People’s illusions do not fade easily.
Great book. Yes, short, but awesome. It’s such a simple idea, it does not need to be long.
