Description
What does it mean to be free in a world shaped by biology, culture, circumstance, and the brain? Drawing on philosophy, neuroscience, sociology, and cognitive science, this compelling exploration examines free will, personal responsibility, and the possibility of meaningful psychological change. Through scientific research and vivid encounters with artists, addicts, prisoners, and dissidents, it challenges the view that freedom is merely an illusion. The result is a nuanced and positive account of personal agency—and of a freedom genuinely worth having.
