Raul Mazilu's Reviews > Determined: A Science of Life without Free Will

When writing a review on Goodreads, it always amuses me to see the checkbox "My review has spoilers".

That's because I could never imagine checking it off for a nonfiction book. What would be the point? Why hide a piece of knowledge that would make others' lives better?

Well, now I get why it's there. It was added for books like Sapolsky's. This book is dangerous. So dangerous, in fact, that I'm not even going to summarize its main points.

Read it at your own peril knowing that you might come out of it a different person: kinder towards others, & painfully aware of what makes you you.

Make sure you've thoroughly enjoyed your recent successes before reading it. They're still wins, but they're much less attributable to you than you (were made to) believe.
