In the past, we believed in divine beings and that the world turned according to a master plan. This “script” gave life meaning, but it also limited our power to act. That’s why we accepted that disasters like famine were due to God’s will. Our only response was to pray, instead of investigating further.
Now we have rejected the idea that such a script exists. We know that famine is caused by a series of interrelated and measurable events.
Book or not decisions are merely biochemical processes in the brain. A physiology professional should know better. These processes are no more the product of free will than digestion or hair growth. When we send signals to specific parts of a rat's brain through implanted electrodes, we can make decisions on its behalf. We can tell it to turn left or right, or even jump from a height it wouldn’t normally attempt. Free will is a mere illusion.
Just depending on your right brain will not take you anywhere. Similarly incomplete information in left brain helps you cultivate a cult. You need books or proper information in the form of different media to take proper decision. There is a reason why self improvement is a multi-million dollar business. Similarly higher education or adding few extra inches. Everything has their pros and cons. And again people still goes to library in the age of wi-fi. Brain is powerful, instead keeping it idle use it. Make it a workshop of joy and happiness.
