What if everything you think about free will is an illusion? Behavioral scientist Robert Sapolsky makes a provocative case that free will is largely fiction.Drawing from his book, <a href="https://amzn.to/4d5GnAg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will</a>, he deconstructs the idea through neurobiology, genetics, and anthropology. Sapolsky explores startling implications for criminal justice, achievement, and being human. From reframing punishment to questioning meritocracy, he doesn't flinch from disruptive conclusions. Can we truly "choose" anything? Get ready to have your perception of human behavior radically reshaped in this mind-bending dialogue.You can find Robert at: <a href="https://profiles.stanford.edu/robert-sapolsky?tab=bio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.goodlifeproject.com/podcast/no-free-will-neuroscientist-robert-sapolsky-on-biology-justice-and-the-illusion-of-choice" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode Transcript</a>If you LOVED this episode you’ll also love the conversations we had with <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-life-project/id647826736?i=1000480088619" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Milton Glaser</a> about how different people and experiences influence your path.Check out our offerings & partners:&nbsp;<ul><li>Join My New Writing Project: <a href="https://jonathanfields.substack.com/about" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Awake at the Wheel</a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodlifeproject.com/sponsors/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Our Sponsor Page For Great Resources & Discount Codes</a></li></ul><hr> Hosted on Acast.
