Product Description

If we really had Free Will.... what would we do all day? Happiness isn't the result of a life well-lived, it's an evolved mechanism to control our conscious choices. When things don't go well for us, and we experience pain and unhappiness, we usually blame the world around us, or we blame ourselves for our inability to win external battles. We forget that all the pain (and indeed all the pleasure) that we experience in life is created by our own brains - by our evolved brains whose only purpose is to maximise the survival chances of our genes. Happiness isn't the reward for a life well-lived, its the mechanism that evolution uses to control our behaviour. And evolution doesn't want us to be happy, it just wants us to be motivated. If we really had Free Will.... what would we do all day? Conscious Robots challenges us to face up to the reality of being human - if we are made up of atoms, how can we control our own choices? Conscious Robots explains how the illusion of Free Will works, and what we'd do if we really had it.
