how the brain works most at times is so complicated but if the author has found a way of deciphering it, I think is amazing and I would definitely love to have a glance at his insights!!

Free will. Do you have it? By Albertus Karl - The author poses a question, “Do you have free will” and many of us believe we do. But the author has a cogent reason as to why we do not. Why our decisions are predictable according to multiple experiences.Great review. Thanks.

The #BOTD has me questioning it's title. If you are not willing to change your view on something, then no amount of persuasion can change it. I know my will to survive has kept me alive in difficult situations. With all of this in mind, I am interested in exploring the author's perception on this topic. Excellent review.

I've always been on the fence about this. We learned about Procirclism in quite a few Psychology courses. Great review.

This book seems to be very complex and philosophical. It brings the themes of Procirclism, human behavior, free will. The repetitions don't attract me though. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the informative review!

The idea of PROCIRCLISM is interesting. The cycle of the brain is confusing. This book seems to offer a plethora of information but reading about this topic makes me feel frazzled . not sure I would enjoy but congrats on the BOTD

Thanks for the great review. From the sample, I think I understand it and then I confuse myself again at times. At times, I do like to read something that puts a different perspective on things that I think I know. Perhaps at a different time, I would be glad to read this.

The book related to human brain. How it works and how human behavior affect through it process. Therefore, the review was good.

Reading this review makes me think 'Do I have free will?'
The term Procirclism is new to me, therefore makes this book interesting. Great review!

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.
