Our lives are full of choices, but what if they aren't really an exercise in free will? Neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky argues that we are slaves to our biology and wrestles with what this might mean for how we govern ourselves and others.

Guest: Robert Sapolsky – professor of biology, neurology, neurological sciences, and neurosurgery at Stanford University and author of Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will published by Penguin Random House
