Summary
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, moralityâÈ'as well as feelings of remorse or personal achievementâÈ'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.

Excerpt
Media reviews
"If you believe in free will, or know someone who does, here is the perfect antidote. In this smart, engaging, and extremely readable little book, Sam Harris argues that free will doesnâÈçt exist, that weâÈçre better off knowing that it doesnâÈçt exist, and thatâÈ'once we think about it in the right wayâÈ'we can appreciate from our own experience that it doesnâÈçt exist. This is a delightful discussion by one of the sharpest scholars around.âÈë
