Are we really the masters of our own destiny? What if free will doesn’t exist? What if our lives are largely predetermined, hardwired in our brains – and our choices are not real choices at all?
In her new book ‘The Science of Fate: Why Your Future is More Predictable Than You Think’, internationally acclaimed neuroscientist Hannah Critchlow draws vividly from everyday life to illustrate just how much our decisions – from what we eat, to whom we love, to how we vote – are hardwired and predetermined by genetics.
This fascinating talk will challenge everything we know about ourselves, as well as empower us to help shape a better future.
