CHRIS PALEY'S WEIRD MINDS

The Illusion of Conscious Will
Daniel Wegner
An immensely important piece of work. How we can have the impression we're making a conscious decision when such things don't exist.
​
Unfortunately, Professor Wegner passed away far too early. He's top of my list of dead people I'd like to have to dinner.
​
In this latest edition, Daniel Gilbert and Thalia Wheatley do an admirable job of forewording and introducing the great man. Was he a bumbler or a pointer? Jump straight into the thoughtful text and find arguments that will frighten, disturb and awaken you. All told by an author whose fascination with the subject is infectious.
