U / How Free Will Works / Lieberman

In 'The Illusion of Conscious Will,' Daniel Wegner offers a compelling analysis of how our perceptions of conscious will are often mistaken. The book explores psychological experiments and theories to argue that conscious will is more of an illusion than an actual internal influence in our actions. Wegner discusses how this illusion arises from our natural tendencies to infer personal agency and control in situations where we might have none. This work challenges our fundamental beliefs about free will and our sense of self, making it a critical read for those interested in psychology and human behavior.
