{ "item_title" : "The Illusion of Control", "item_author" : [" Sandeep Chavan "], "item_description" : "Most people believe they are in control of their thoughts, decisions, and actions.But what if that belief itself is the illusion?In The Illusion of Control, Sandeep J. Chavan presents a clear, grounded, and deeply unsettling exploration of how human experience actually unfolds. This book challenges one of the most fundamental assumptions of modern life-the idea that we consciously direct our thinking and behavior-and replaces it with a more precise understanding rooted in observation, structure, and consequence.Blending insights from psychology, philosophy, and cognitive science, this work moves beyond the traditional debate of free will versus determinism. Instead of asking whether we are free or controlled, it examines how thoughts arise, how decisions take shape, and how actions emerge-often before we become aware of them.What we call choice may not be the starting point.What we call control may not be real.Through a structured and accessible approach, the book reveals: Why thoughts appear before we can influence themHow decisions are often the final step of unseen processesWhy control feels real-even when it isn'tHow perception shapes the illusion of authorshipWhat remains when the idea of control begins to dissolveThis is not a self-help book. It does not offer techniques to improve control or optimize performance. Instead, it removes confusion-allowing clarity to emerge naturally.At its core, The Illusion of Control is a shift in perspective.It invites you to observe your own experience more closely-to question what you assume about thinking, decision-making, and identity-and to see whether control was ever truly there.What follows is not helplessness, but a quieter and more precise understanding of how life unfolds.And within that understanding, a different kind of intelligence begins to operate.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/823/584/9798235846753_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "49.99", "online_price" : "49.99", "our_price" : "49.99", "club_price" : "49.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
