And the proposition that the answer challenges every other belief we hold in our ethics, our politics, and even our personal theologies, is downright preposterous. Except it does. Through a progression of short connected essays and soliloquies, this provocative book explores the profound psychological, moral, and spiritual implications that follow from this one simple (yes or no) question, weaving the most intriguing perplexities of neuroscience and modern physics into the three paramount (life and death) concerns of every thoughtful human being: The existence of God, the prospect of immortality, and finding meaning in our present lives. Moving succinctly from sensible neurophysiology and basic chaos theory, to the baffling enigma of consciousness and the bewildering weirdness of quantum theory, it bravely confronts the inescapable corollary question: Do we have free will?This bold venture into trustworthy determinism and uplifting secular humanism might be unsettling, maybe even upsetting, for some good people, including loyal patients and faithful friends.
