No. You have the phenomenal experience of spontaneous decision making (and it's important), but underneath that experience are the causal brain mechanisms that are not in your "control". The short of it is -- the experience of will comes with your actions sometimes, but you do not will your actions.

You seem to be working very hard toward absolving us of fault for ill-considered actions. If you would take your head out of that book for long enough, you'd see that its pretty obvious that making well-considered choices throughout one's life produces a better life than not ever thinking things through.
