Description: Gazzaniga is one of the most brilliant experimental neuroscientists in the world. Tom Wolfe Michael S. Gazzaniga has been called the father of cognitive neuroscience. In his remarkable book Whos in Charge? he makes a powerful and provocative argument that counters the common wisdom that our lives are wholly determined by physical processes we cannot control. There is no "you" consciously making decisions. So how do we make decisions? How can we have free will if we don't pull the levers of our own behavior? What moral and legal implications follow if we don't have free well? Who's in Charge is a primer for a new era in the understanding of human behavior that ranges across neuroscience psychology ethics and the law with a light touch but profound implications. His well - reasoned case against the idea that we live in a determined world is fascinating and liberating solidifying his place among the likes of Oliver Sacks Antonio Damasio V. S. Ramachandran and other bestselling science authors exploring the mysteries of the human brain.
