The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller 'A truly fascinating - if
unnerving - read' The Telegraph 'We can all benefit from
Critchlow's book' New Scientist 'Acute, mind-opening, highly
accessible - this book doesn't just explain how our lives might pan
out, it helps us live better' Bettany Hughes 'A humane and highly
readable account of the neuroscience that underpins our ideas of
free will and fate' Professor David Runciman So many of us believe
that we are free to shape our own destiny. But what if free will
doesn't exist? What if our lives are largely predetermined,
hardwired in our brains - and our choices over what we eat, who we
fall in love with, even what we believe are not real choices at
all? Neuroscience is challenging everything we think we know about
ourselves, revealing how we make decisions and form our own
reality, unaware of the role of our unconscious minds. Did you
know, for example, that: * You can carry anxieties and phobias
across generations of your family? * Your genes and pleasure and
reward receptors in your brain will determine how much you eat? *
We can sniff out ideal partners with genes that give our offspring
the best chance of survival? Leading neuroscientist Hannah
Critchlow draws vividly from everyday life and other experts in
their field to show the extraordinary potential, as well as
dangers, which come with being able to predict our likely futures -
and looking at how we can alter what's in store for us. Lucid,
illuminating, awe-inspiring The Science of Fate revolutionises our
understanding of who we are - and empowers us to help shape a
better future for ourselves and the wider world.
