The Illusion of Conscious Will

Summary:

The book explores the psychological processes behind the feeling of conscious control over actions, arguing that this sense of will is an illusion created by the mind. It delves into how thoughts and actions are often unconsciously initiated and that the conscious experience of will is a retrospective construction rather than a cause of behavior.

Key points:

1. Feeling of Control: Wegner says we often feel like we're in control of our actions, but this might just be how our brain works, not actual control.
