"Sapolsky's decades of experience studying the effects of the interplay of genes and the environment on behavior shine brightly . . . He provides compelling examples that bad luck compounds . . . convincingly argues against claims that chaos theory, emergent phenomena, or the indeterminism offered by quantum mechanics provide the gap required for free will to exist." -- Science "Few people understand the human brain as well as renowned neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky." --Most Anticipated Fall Books, San Francisco Chronicle "Sapolsky presents in his inimitable style a cogent argument explaining that free will is an illusion . . . Sapolsky tackles many complicated facets of this demanding subject with aplomb, making difficult material accessible. His engaging style and silly humor make learning fun . . . The debate is essential." -- Booklist "A neuroscientific takedown of the notion that free will guides us . . . [Sapolsky] is fearless in taking on a matter that is fraught with a long history of debate and division, and he covers a wide variety of disciplines, from philosophy to ethics and law, with admirable clarity . . . Sure to stir controversy, which, to judge by this long but lucid exposition, the author is perfectly willing to court." -- Kirkus (starred review), "Sapolsky's decades of experience studying the effects of the interplay of genes and the environment on behavior shine brightly . . . He provides compelling examples that bad luck compounds . . . convincingly argues against claims that chaos theory, emergent phenomena, or the indeterminism offered by quantum mechanics provide the gap required for free will to exist." -- Science "The behavioural scientist engagingly lays out the reasons why our every action is predetermined--and why we shouldn't despair about it . . . Determined is a bravura performance, well worth reading for the pleasure of Sapolsky's deeply informed company . . . Absorbing and compassionate." -- The Guardian "Few people understand the human brain as well as renowned neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky." --Most Anticipated Fall Books, San Francisco Chronicle "Witty and engaging, Determined is also a goldmine of fascinating information (most of it accessible even to those of us who aren't scientifically literate) about neuroscience; philosophy; chaos theory; emergent complexity; quantum indeterminacy; evolving knowledge of the causes of epilepsy, schizophrenia, and autism; and, of course, the impact of nature and nurture on decision-making." -- Psychology Today " Determined is a sustained attempt at demonstrating that the decisions we make every day are products of complex factors of which we're not in charge . . . This is an amiable, surprisingly accessible and at times a persuasive book--a paean to empathy and tolerance that yearns for a world in which societies eventually realize that retribution is futile and wrong . . . [Sapolsky] can be pleased with the knowledge that what he's written is stimulating to read, even for those who doubt his conclusions.

Synopsis
The instant New York Times bestseller "Excellent . . . Outstanding for its breadth of research, the liveliness of the writing, and the depth of humanity it conveys." - Wall Street Journal One of our great behavioral scientists, the bestselling author of Behave , mounts a devastating scientific and philosophical case against free will--an argument with profound consequences Robert Sapolsky's Behave , his now classic account of why humans do good and why they do bad, pointed toward an unsettling conclusion: we may not grasp exactly how nature and nurture create the physics and chemistry that cause all human behavior, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. In Determined , Sapolsky takes his argument all the way, mounting a brilliant (and in his inimitable way, delightful) full-frontal assault on the pleasant fantasy that there is some separate self who tells our biology what to do. Determined offers a marvelous synthesis of what we know about consciousness--the tight weave between reason and emotion and between stimulus and response in the moment and over a life. One by one, Sapolsky takes out all the major arguments for free will, cutting a path through the thickets of chaos theory and quantum physics. But as Sapolsky acknowledges, it's sometimes impossible to uncouple from our zeal to judge people, including ourselves. Determined applies this new understanding to some of our most essential questions around punishment, morality, and living well together. Most of all, Sapolsky argues that while accepting the reality about free will is monumentally difficult, it will make for a much more humane world.

    I had a wonderful experience buying from this seller! They quickly replied to my messages, answering questions that I had on the books. The item description was exactly what I received. The seller also packaged the book set with bubble wrap to make sure there was no damage during shipment. The shipping was quick and I received the item 4 days early! 10/10 experience with this seller!

    Shipping took a bit longer than expected BUT when the book arrived it was in perfect condition and was wrapped very well. Seller did communicate about the delay as well. I needed this as a required text for school and was exactly what I needed but for a fraction of the price. Thank you!
