There is, in effect, one core question:- free will or causality and determinism for much of the content of these two books. The books circles this question in multiple ways; fundamentally, it’s an unanswerable question, and the conclusion acknowledges that there isn’t a firm answer in the text. However, just because something can’t be answered definitively doesn’t mean humans won’t spend much time trying to figure it out. It’s a reasonably central principle affecting one’s worldview, so thinking about it seems a worthwhile use of our time.

Everything in life changes, even our perception of our past. This book combines one man’s story and his remarkable shift in perspective over time.

Both books consider whether the events in our lives result from free will or causality and determinism.
