I recieved a free copy of the ebook The Science of Freedom to review.
This book starts out with an analysis of Descartes' philosophy, the famous "I think therefore I am" that we've all heard many times. It was very interesting to read the author's interpretation of Descartes' philosophy. The author's philosophy on free will is pretty interesting, as well. This book explores some complex ideas but puts them in easy to understand terms so that the book is accesible to all. There are some eye opening and thought provoking ideas in this book. It's a good read for anyone with an interest in philosophy or even psychology. The author cites scinetific research in the work in reference to some of the ideas he presents. There is also some theology involved, as it is nearly impossible to discuss philosophy without bringing in theology and spirituality to at least some extent, especially considering many people get their life philiosophy at least partly from their religion. I think this is a very interesting book, worth reading at least once, though probably more than once to make sure you get the full thing. I read through it once, pretty quickly (Pro-tip: speed reading is a kill everyone should have!) and when I have the opportunity I plan to read through again, looking more in depth into the relevant research of certain parts of the book.
