Why Your Brain Is Fighting Itself

Learning To Live di Asher Cohn and Robert Humphrey

Note sull'episodio

Your brain has two hemispheres, and they don't always agree. This week, we dive into The Master and His Emissary by Iain McGilchrist, breaking down what the left and right brain are actually doing, why they're in conflict, and what that means for how we think, feel, and live.

We cover the Nietzsche parable at the heart of the book, the left hemisphere's overconfidence problem, how language shapes (and limits) our perception, and why too much analytical thinking can make life feel hollow.

We also connect the neuroscience to everything we've explored on this podcast, from The Untethered Soul to Good Energy, and why this book might be the thread that ties it all together.

Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!
