Veranderen voor luie mensen by Ayca Szapora, Paul Smit

3.0

Super interesting book about how your brain reacts to change with a lazy, reductive conclusion: there is no "I", just "energy". Where most of the book relies on neurosciences to make its case (and that's where the book excels), it ends in reducing us to our neurological activity. Just 'go with the flow' seems to be the advice . The ability we have to act on moral values, to sacrifice ourselves for others, to feel a moral responsibility towards others: nothing truly matters anymore if you abandon the notion of free will and of the self. Extra disappointing when one of the two authors is a philosopher.
