The Myth of Choice
Author: Kent Greenfield
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300178875
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Freedom of choice is at the core of the American story. But what if choice is fake?Americans are fixated on the idea of choice. Our political theory is based on the consent of the governed. Our legal system is built upon the argument that people freely make choices and bear responsibility for them. And what slogan could better express the heart of our consumer culture than "Have it your way"?In this provocative book, Kent Greenfield poses unsettling questions about the choices we make. What if they are more constrained and limited than we like to think? If we have less free will than we realize, what are the implications for us as individuals and for our society? To uncover the answers, Greenfield taps into scholarship on topics ranging from brain science to economics, political theory to sociology. His discoveries—told through an entertaining array of news events, personal anecdotes, crime stories, and legal decisions—confirm that many factors, conscious and unconscious, limit our free will. Worse, by failing to perceive them we leave ourselves open to manipulation. But Greenfield offers useful suggestions to help us become better decision makers as individuals, and to ensure that in our laws and public policy we acknowledge the complexity of choice.

Be a Man - Take Responsibility for Your Actions
Author: Clark Covey
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1512730653
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 65
Book Description
We all tell white lies to others and, even worse, to ourselves. We do something wrong and instead of acknowledging it, learning from it, and moving on, we lie, saying it was due to circumstances outside ourselves. Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry his own load. Gal. 6:45 NIV Genesis 3:12 NIV, The man said, The woman you put here with meshe gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it. As long as there has been a record of man, humans have chosen to blame someone else for their wrongdoings. For you and me, it does not have to be that way. We can change and take responsibilities for our own actions.

It's on You: Taking Responsibility for Your Choices
Author: Julianne Harvey
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781516861514
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
The world would be a different place if everyone took responsibility for their decisions. The problem comes when the boundary lines get blurry between you and another person. This is a book about how responsibility and choices work together. When you make a commitment to personal health and growth, you will be able to assume responsibility for yourself and not for others. Don't expect this process to happen quickly. It takes time to understand how you formed some of your habits and look at why you might feel a compulsion to look after other people. Do you often worry about owing others? Do you struggle to say no when someone asks you for help? Does failing crush you? Wouldn't it feel great to know you didn't have to do what someone else wants you to do? Would you like to deal in reality instead of denial? Do you want to set boundaries with difficult people and hold to them? Can you really ask for what you need - and expect to get it? Taking responsibility for your choices has the power to transform your life. It's simple but difficult. Changing our habits comes with a price tag. Some of your relationships might be challenged. But at the end of the process, you will be able to understand what is yours to own and what is none of your business. That one skill will bring you enormous peace and freedom. Are you ready? Do you want to dive in? You are worth this investment. From this point forward, It's On You.
