From your review, the concept of Procirclism sounds like an interesting subject. I would love to explore this book. However , I would like to say that some of these scientists ought to come to accept that somethings about life and existence would only remain a mystery .

I am really curious about the plot of this book. The readers, who are interested in knowing, whether the humans have a free will, or not, or there's is any 3rd way in this, should definitely read this one. Thank you for the review.

I agree with the majority of people who believe that we, humans, have free will. However, it will be intriguing to delve deeper into the discussion as to whether or not we really have free will and thinking about the definition of that concept. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

Interesting read. But focus upon people around us seemed more interesting or upsetting. I always upset upon the people who always fighting with others or who can't make own decisions. They are coward or something I think. But I am afraid not they feared to get fault over something that's why they can't decide or do something ahead. Thanks for informative review.

Hi!

I am assuming this is non-fiction but the term sounds made up. I have a B.S. in Psychology and never heard of the term. Is this new research or does the author admit he made it up? What credentials does he have and what research has been done on the concept?

I hope I'm wrong but I doubt the author would admit if it was made up. I enjoy reading Psychology books and would probably like this. Is it speculative non-fiction or based on legitimate non-fiction research will determine whether certain readers will enjoy the book.

Thanks for the review,

:eusa-think: What an interesting topic to write a book about. Procirclism, the way to live in scientific terms, sounds intense. Great review.

This is the first time I'm hearing of this concept but it kind of makes sense to me. I'm not entirely sure if I'll agree with everything in the book, but I am interested.
Thank you for your detailed review.

This book is a technical discussion on whether people have free will. It uses the term "Procirclism" to explain that your previous experiences affect your actions. Congratulations to the author for writing this thought-provoking book chosen as BOTD. Nice review! Thanks to the reviewer for a job well done.

The concept of Procirclism is intriguing. The author defines it as a cycle of brain processes that result in manifested behaviors. Reading through the book gives one an understanding of whether we really have free will or not. Thank you for the enlightening review.

the question of free will is one that i believe we should question until we can no longer, cos this is is the only way to truly understand certain cognitive features

I like that this book is based on philosophy. I had never considered a third option other than yes or no for the question about human free will. I will likely be reading this book in the future. Thanks for the review! :)

From your description, it sounds like “Procirclism“ is appropriately named. This book seems to present a thought-provoking take on an age-old question. Thank you for your review!
