I had a super compelling conversation with the legendary biologist Robert Sapolsky to challenge the concept of free will and pull together what can be done with these ideas when you feel lazy and lack purpose or direction.\nWe dive into the unsettling reality that everything we perceive may just be a simulation, and how evolution has optimized us for survival, not accuracy. But don't despair! Even without god or free will, we discuss how you can still massively improve your life.\xa0\nWe explore the societal implications of free will being an illusion and why acting as if it exists could be beneficial for your mental health. Don't miss this riveting conversation that will challenge your perspective and empower you to leverage your biology for self-improvement.\nRenowned biologist Robert Sapolsky, presents a compelling argument that free will is an illusion that is deeply rooted in our biology. His ground-breaking insights, as detailed in his book "Determined," challenge conventional wisdom and reshape our understanding of human behavior, asserting that we are in fact products of our biology, not the autonomous agents of free will you believe yourself to be.\nIf you\u2019re on the edge of your seat wanting more, check out Robert Sapolsky\u2019s latest book, Determined, A Life Without Free Will: https://www.amazon.com/Determined-Science-Life-without-Free/dp/0525560971 \n\nFollow Robert Sapolsky:\nWebsite: http://www.robertsapolskyrocks.com/\xa0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robert.sapolsky/\xa0\n\nFollow Me, Tom Bilyeu:\xa0\nWebsite: https://impacttheoryuniversity.com/\xa0\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu\xa0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ \n\nSPONSORS:\nIf you purchase an item using these affiliate links, Impact Theory may receive a commission.\xa0\nGet 5 free AG1 Travel Packs and a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D with your first purchase at https://drinkag1.com/impact.\nTry Audible free for 30 days!
