Left or Right - The eternal fight
You
probably know that your brain is divided into two different hemispheres that
are interlinked and interact with each other, but still have their very own
challenges and tasks to manage. But do you know what exactly your right brain
hemisphere is doing? And why we need the left brain hemisphere? How are these
two halves intertwined to provide us with such a holistic and complex cerebral
system?
Renowned
psychiatrist and writer Iain McGilchrist explains the dilemma of the human
brain in an entertaining and colourful way underpinned with graphic elements.
His lecture combines a humorous approach with a serious topic and ends with
Albert Einstein’s words:
"The
intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We
have created a society that honors the servant, but has forgotten the
gift."
