Lots of scientific and spiritual folk say free will doesn't exist. I want to show why I am convinced that our choices are meaningful and absolutely central to our identity as human beings.

I am the author of 35 books, translated into 15 languages, including a Sunday Times bestseller and Daily Telegraph 'Book of the Year’. For some inexplicable reason I was included in ‘The 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People’ lists in Watkins Magazine for 2021 and 2022.
I am exploring a groundbreaking evolutionary understanding of the nature of reality that unites science and spirituality, bringing deep meaning to our human lives.
