Determined. A Science of Life without Free Will. Robert Sapolsky

Robert Sapolsky, one of the most authoritative researchers of human behavior, returns with an explosive work in which he proposes a bold and scientifically sound thesis: free will does not exist.
Drawing on neurobiology, genetics, and epigenetics, the distinguished scientist shows us as a highly complex system whose decisions are shaped by chains of causes—from our current blood sugar levels to the culture in which our ancestors grew up. Intention and choice are not under our control, but are conditioned by biological factors and circumstances beyond our control. This book is not about fatalism or helplessness. On the contrary, the rejection of belief in free will opens the way to a new education, justice, and true humanity—with compassion and understanding instead of condemnation, (self)criticism, or revenge.
Sapolsky completely changes the optics and intellectually challenges our beliefs and ambitions; forces us to look differently at morality and religion, philosophy and psychology, heredity and meritocracy, scientific reductionism and human nature itself.
