Acerca de esta escucha

This pioneering account sets out to understand the structure of the human brain - the place where mind meets matter. Until recently, the left hemisphere of our brain has been seen as the "rational" side, the superior partner to the right. But is this distinction true?

Drawing on a vast body of experimental research, Iain McGilchrist argues while our left brain makes for a wonderful servant, it is a very poor master. As he shows, it is the right side which is the more reliable and insightful. Without it, our world would be mechanistic - stripped of depth, color and value.

Excellent

I’d call it a “must” for anyone with an interest in neuroscience or philosophy of mind. The scope is impressive, and you’ll learn about many fascinating differences in L vs R hemisphere function.

Changed the way I see the world

What an impressive book. Philosophy, science, history, psychology, all rolled together to make sense of the world.

A profound listen of great potential

Warning: This book that may change how you think, not just what you think. I can’t tell you precisely why you might read or listen. But you may become more aware of the limits of your own awareness. You may recover deep feelings of humility, awe, wonder, connection, longing, and belonging. If that sounds interesting, and you can track with a verbose set of observations that span many schools of social science, psychology, theology, and philosophy—then this book is for you.

applications to real life

I really like how this author handled a subject matter that is somewhat controversial in the research world. He directly addressed the controversy and stated his case. Then he also made neurology accessible to laymen. And so his conclusions were both believable and very relevant.

Vivid and stunning.

Absolutely and wholly stunning. If you can grasp the subject and it’s implications, you will step into the river and become something else.

A True Epiphany

Look at the moon, not the finger pointing at the moon. This Daoist saying is true, but this is a wonderful map to the moon, and a reminder that we should never stop trying to get there.

Most Important Work on Cognitive Science This Century (until McGilchrist’s later work)

One of the many reasons I wish Oliver Sacks were still alive is so he could absorb this mind-detonating research and these paradigm-leaping insights into the workings of the right and left hemispheres and their impact on our epistemological perception of reality. Iain McGilchrist is my new favorite neuroscientist after Sacks and the most significant one of this century. This book and all his work will change the way you think—and the ways you think about thinking.
