That 'free will' episode

Are you interested in understanding why you have no control over what you do and why that might even be a good thing? This episode explores the age old philosophical and scientific question regarding to what extent human beings are able to exercise free will. Are we free agents doing whatever we choose, or are our actions largely determined by biological drives and environmental influences beyond our control? After teasing the audience for several episodes, Rich finally lays out the argument for determinism, and asks Ray to consider that seeing the world in this way might just make it a better place for everyone.There are a few 'deeper dive' recommendations made in this episode, and these are as follows:Determined by Robert SapolskyThe Brain by David EaglemanFree Will by Sam HarrisLiving BIG by Brené Brown & Ashley Brown RuizIf you want to send feedback, suggest topics for future episodes or make contact for any other reason, you can do so at [email protected]
