內容簡介
命運,其實是一門科學!
大部分的人都覺得,命運是掌握在自己手中的。
自己想吃什麼、愛上誰,都是靠著自己的自由意志所「選擇」的。
但有沒有可能,自由意志其實根本不存在?
有沒有可能人們的「選擇」,其實都可提前計算、預測?
本書作者以神經科學,試著挑戰我們所認知的自己:證明人們的大腦決定,其實根本有跡可循;而決定之後的一切,幾乎可說是照著劇本走、就像是命中注定。
作者引用許多日常例子,和各領域的專家研究來證明。
並引導我們進行一場自我認知革命,看看能為自己的行為模式做些什麼改變。
幫我們塑造更美好、更不可限量的未來。
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.
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.
