The Illusion of Free Will and the Stories We Create

This chapter explores the concept of free will and the idea of a self as stories that humans create. It discusses how society is built on stories and how our brains use language and reasoning to come up with explanations. It highlights that even though scientific experiments suggest that our prefrontal cortex is not actually choosing our actions, we still create stories to make sense of our actions and maintain the belief in free will and a self.
