I find the idea of Procirclism intriguing. I have often thought about the matter of free will and I must say that this philosophy appeals to me. Thank you for a great review and congrats on book of the day.

I think pushing ourselves to question beliefs that we take for granted, such as free will, makes us grow. Whether the author is right or not, he might at least make us think about why we behave the way we do. And I appreciate that it's written in a simple, understandable way.
Thank you for your insightful review.

The book's glowing review has piqued my interest in its content. Still, I wonder, is the author is a neurologist?

In this controversial book, the author presents his novel theory of Procirclism - a third option to answering whether or not man has free will. His theory is based on the concept that actions are a result of process not free will. This will be an interesting read for those with an open mind. Thanks for the great review!

This is my first time hearing about procirclism and it sounds very interesting. This sounds like a very complex and intriguing topic and I am happy to hear that the author managed to make the concept easier to understand for the reader. Congrats on BOTD!

This book is challenging. I do think that people have freewill, but I will be that interested in reading about procirclism.

I have always believed our free will is influenced by our surroundings, culture, upbringing, and outside influences. This sounds like a good book if you are interested in learning more about "Procirclism." Thank you for your review.

I am so glad that even though this book is all about the brain it is easy to read. I love learning about how our brains work but definitely do not have a medical degree so the easier the read, the better. It's these kind if reviews that make me want to read this book. Great job!

The subject of free will is interesting. Particularly, I believe that we humans do have free will. This book seems to addresses this topic in a complex way. The mentioned concepts of "Procirclism" and "I" look that way.

From the review, it seems like a very philosophical book. I have never heard about procirclism. But I think the book is thought provoking and the subtitle on the cover makes it intriguing. Congratulations on BOTD.
