Description: Jim Flynn is on a mission to change how we think about the modern world, our place in it, and the moral choices we make. In The Torchlight List he argued that great literature can change lives. Now in Fate & Philosophy, he looks at tough moral decisions we face and urges us not to be influenced by subconscious conditioning inherited from our parents, our religion, or any other source. Fate & Philosophy is both an exhilarating introduction to philosophy and a mind-bending tour through its intersection with science, in particular research on the human brain.
