- Free will and determinism, New York Times bestseller
[Free Will][1] is a 2012 book by the American author and neuroscientist Sam Harris. Harris argues that the truth about the human mind (that free will is an illusion) does not undermine morality or diminish the importance of political and social freedom, and can as well as should change the way we think about some of the most important questions in life.

Sam Harris (born 1967) is an American non-fiction writer, neuroscientist and proponent of scientific skepticism. He is the author of *The End of Faith* (2004), which won the 2005 PEN/Martha Albrand Award, and *Letter to a Christian Nation* (2006), a rejoinder to the criticism his first book attracted.
