Do we really choose our lives? Or are we simply watching them unfold? When you made your last big decision, was it you deciding… or a chain of causes stretching back long before you were born? In this discussion, we’ll dive into one of the oldest and most unsettling questions: free will vs. fate. Are they real forces, useful illusions, or just stories we tell ourselves to make sense of chaos? And if everything is either predetermined or random, what does that mean for responsibility, ambition, regret… and the way we live day to day?

Hosted by chief psychological counsellor David Ammerschlaeger, this session blends psychology, philosophy, and modern science into a conversation that’s as practical as it is thought-provoking. We’ll explore what research says about decision-making, how thinkers like Carl Jung approached the tension between inner drives and external forces, and whether believing in free will (or not) actually changes our behaviour. Whether you’ve wrestled with these ideas before or are just curious, this will be a smart, open, and deeply engaging space to question how much of your life is really in your hands.

我们真的能自主选择自己的人生吗？还是只能被动看着命运徐徐展开？当你做出上一个重大抉择时，真正做决定的是你本人，还是一连串早在你出生前就已注定的因果链条？

本次讨论，我们将深入探讨人类最古老、也最令人深思的命题之一：自由意志与宿命论。二者是真实存在的力量，还是能带来慰藉的幻象，抑或是我们为理解混乱世界而自我编织的故事？倘若万事万物早已注定或纯属偶然，那么责任、抱负、遗憾，以及我们日复一日的生活，又该如何定义？

本次活动由首席心理咨询师大卫・阿默施莱格主持，融合心理学、哲学与现代科学，带来兼具启发性与实用性的深度对话。我们将结合相关研究解读人类决策逻辑，探讨卡尔・荣格等思想家如何看待内在本能与外界环境的博弈，以及相信或否定自由意志，是否会切实改变我们的行为模式。

无论你曾深度思考过这类问题，还是单纯充满好奇，这里都是一个理性开放、引人深思的交流空间，一同探讨：你的人生，究竟有多少真正掌握在自己手中。
