I don't intend to dissect this book but at least I learnt something new today. Procirclism. Wow. An informative review as well.

We can do what we want but can't will what we want,just like the plans we have in life but God directs the actions. What an inspirational review.

What an intriguing topic! This is a fascinating question, and from the sounds of it, the author of this book did a great job of giving readers important information to think about. I am glad the author provided examples; thanks for the informative review.

We understand that even though emotions govern us, we can decide which emotions control us
This is really a thought-provoking topic. I'm really drawn to this remarkable non-fiction work. A book about our true self. Thanks for the review. Congrats on BOTD.

Procirclism is something I have never heard of. I think I would have to read this book to understand this intriguing concept. Realizing that we don't have the will to choose results in predictable results is something I want to understand. Thanks for the great review.

I like for my reading to be entertaining. This doesn’t seem so. It seems like it would be too much like work. Besides I’m not really interested. Even if I don’t have free will (which I don’t believe) what can I do about it? Thanks for the review, though.

The book appears to be instructional as well as informational. I'm curious about how the human brain functions. The review has a good flow, well done.

I am amazed at what ideas people can come up with. I want to keep things simple, so maybe this book and I are not MFEO. "Revolutionary" does not call to me.

I have heard about the argument of not having free will but I've never heard about the term "procirclism." This seems like a resourceful self-help book. Thanks for the detailed review!

Non fiction books are not my cup of tea but the book seems pretty interesting. It will be interesting to find out whether the person has a will or doesn't have or maybe there is that third option and I really would like to know what it is. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

The book definitely seems thought provoking and I am sure will challenge what we believe about free will. I was piqued when the point was brought out about brain processes determining what we do and why we do them over time. Look forward to reading it and learning something new.

Very thought provoking, definitely in the times we're living in, in which we are continuously forced to adapt to Covid regulations and restrictions. Do we really have a free will or do we just think we do? I might give this book a go.
