Who's in Charge? Free Will and the Science of the Brain by Michael S. Gazzaniga

informative reflective medium-paced

3.75

Some of his statements are very objective and well-researched (by his research team or other research teams). However, what I didn't like about his book is that he presents a lot of his own opinions and thoughts (especially about the superiority and exceptionalism of humans, as well as the importance of the narrative part of consciousness) as facts without properly supporting them with evidence. In fact, a lot of his writing seemed to be filled with academic egotism and self-applause. There were some studies about the brain that he mentioned which were fascinating, so parts of the book were worth reading.
