Faith in free will touches almost everything that people value. It is hard to think about ethics, justice, politics, religion, personal relationships, and to invoke feelings of regret or personal success without first feeling that every person is 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 argues that this truth about the human mind does not undermine our moral standing and does not diminish the importance of social and political freedom for us. On the contrary, it can and should change the way we think and provide answers to some of the most important questions concerning our lives.
