YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Main Chapters:

Literary scholar, neuroscientist, and psychiatrist, Iain McGilchrist challenged the conventional view of a dominant, logical, left brain, and a flighty, emotive right brain. He differentiates the two hemispheres not so much by what they do, but by how they operate, and while both are necessary, in our attempts to comprehend reality, the left brain ideally serves the right brain, which has a more holistic grasp of reality.
