I have been reading a book by Prof Iain McGilchrist about the two hemispheres of the brain called The Matter With Things. This book is genuinely transforming the way I perceive reality and my place in it. Which no book has done so dramatically since I read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.
Gilchrist’s book is non-fiction philosophy and grounded in solid science. The left/right brain paradigm has had a lot of bad press for various reasons, and McGilchrist takes great pains to dispel a lot of the misconceptions about the brain hemisphere divide. The result is a book which really truly introduces the reader to the operating system of the mind, it is fascinating, and for me, profound.
