Procirclism is something new to me. I will like to really learn what it means and what it entails. This is going to be an engaging read. Great review.

The book simply poses a great challenge to me: the invitation to a new way of seeing life. I like it that way. Conventionalism is home for people afraid of change. The review is particularly awesome. I enjoyed reading it. Thanks a lot.

Different people have different theories about different things. I don't doubt that this book sets out to prove with so many evidences that it is correct. I have always believed there to be an interplay between consciousness and neuroscience. Still, I'll like to see what this book has to say.

Never known Procirclism before reading this review. The book is intriguing but still make me afraid to continue. Thanks for the great review.

I enjoy books that bring a whole different view on an ongoing conversation. But isn't knowing your emotions generally govern you and then choosing which emotions to follow, the very definition of free will?

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting book attempting to tackle the issue of whether human beings have free will by using the theory of "Procirclism." It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Do we have free will? This is a interesting question. I would love to hear what the author says.

This book sounds fascinating! I enjoy philosophy and psychology, so this might be a book I’ll have to read.

Finally, the concept of "I" (perhaps even the entire book) might need several reads to understand.

Your comment about this point is exceptionally astute1. Our society has us thinking we are our brains or bodies when we are not those things. The "I" warrants much attention. Considering "I, myself" becomes a spiritual and religious matter for me. I have no idea if this author has struck on any truths about this, but I think it is important and even vital to pursue it. Excellent review of a difficult topic!

What this book proposes is very interesting. Understanding human nature and how the brain works is a tough work to do. One of the keys to succeeding at writing this kind of book is the organization and comprehensible language, which as I understand, the writer masterfully achieved. Congrats.

I like a book that discusses on freewill. I look forward to reading the author's postulations on this including the third option on to whether we have free will or not. Great review.

This is a strong philosophical debate that even the greatest in philosophy can not answer. Just hope the book can do justice to that because from the review, it looks like it. Nice review.
