No Choice But To Choose Barry L Linetsky

No Choice But To Choose looks at the increasingly popular and socially influential idea that the human capability to make volitional choices-commonly referred to as free will-is incompatible with recent experimental evidence of neuroscientists. The power of philosophical detection and evidence is applied to these ideas to assess their validity and implications, primarily with a business audience in mind, but easily accessible for general readers of other disciplines. Bad ideas-those based on misconceptions about what is real and why, and therefore between our understanding of cause and effect-when acted upon in practice, can only lead to a clash between thought, action, and reality, and thereby lead to harmful but foreseeable results. In this book, business philosopher and management consultant Barry Linetsky carefully analyzes some of these issues to identify the errors involved. He provides an alternative perspective in defence of the argument that free will is both real and causal. Barry Linetsky is the author of Free Will: Sam Harris Has It (Wrong), The Business of Walt Disney and the Nine Principles of His Success, and Understanding and Creating Vision and Mission Statements.
