À propos de cet audio
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.

All Against All is the story of the season our world changed from postwar to prewar again. It is about the power of bad ideas - exploring why, during a single winter, between November 1932 and April 1933, so much went so wrong. Historian Paul Jankowski reveals that it was collective mentalities and popular beliefs that drove this crucial period that sent nations on the path to war, as much as any rational calculus called "national interest".

With intelligence and wit, author Jonathan Clements blends documentary and storytelling styles to connect the past, present, and future of Japan, and in broad yet detailed strokes reveals a country of paradoxes: a modern nation steeped in ancient traditions; a democracy with an emperor as head of state; a famously safe society built on 108 volcanoes resting on the world's most active earthquake zone; a fast-paced urban and technologically advanced country whose land consists predominantly of mountains and forests.

In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

Virtually all human societies were once organized tribally, yet over time most developed new political institutions which included a central state that could keep the peace and uniform laws that applied to all citizens. Some went on to create governments that were accountable to their constituents. We take these institutions for granted, but they are absent or are unable to perform in many of today’s developing countries—with often disastrous consequences for the rest of the world.

Absolutely incredible work by Dr. McGilchrist. A well rounded and extensive approach to deal with some of the most fundamental problems of consciousness. Very approachable yet engaging

A View-Altering Book
This is a book packed with insights and fascinating connections, and its main argument is almost certainly unforgettable. MacGilchrist's encyclopedic knowledge is astounding and his writing is consistently clear. This really is a great work.
As for Dennis Kleinman's reading of it, it is good, but obviously improvable. Occasionally the emphasis on a phrase is misplaced, rendering the meaning of a sentence less clear. Here and there English words are mispronounced, and his pronunciation of French (don't worry these quotations are translated) is clueless. That said, the timbre of his voice is pleasing and his tone of relaxed, intelligent engagement seems to fit McGilchrist's quite well.
I highly recommend this book. If you're interested enough to be reading this review, listen to the book (all of it) and thank me later!

A lot of religious sentiment
It seems like the author at the time of writing was still seeing the world through the filter of his old religious conditioning. It feels like he favors religion over science, although never explicitly admitting his preference. Otherwise, this book is a large body of work with a lot of great points and observations. Thank you.

Great Foundational Read for These Key People
This book will be hugely enlightening and influential for engaged leaders, exemplary educators and community-minded politicians who want to understand their own personal proclivities and possibilities and be better able to accompany others in conversations about how we see, say, value and do things differently depending on how our right and left hemispheres act: more or less independently or interdependently. Rang hundreds of bells for me—for example, the conservative view that the economy and growth of GDP is THE key to prosperity (left hemisphere focus on utility, measurability); whereas individuals and countries that put material benefits in the context of relationships and physical, emotional, spiritual well-being (right hemisphere concerns) were more reasonable to me than my rational conservative friends. Lots and lots to ponder.

I am in awe of McGilchrist's erudition.
The most polymathic expression of deep erudition you may ever come across. McGilchrist is a scholar of neuroscience, classical art, poetry, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, Philosophy across continents and the span of time, not to mention the history of science. The end product is a mind-stretching analysis of the Western mind including post-modern ideology while avoiding the trapping of soul-destroying Deconstructionism. I think I am smarter for having read this, perhaps only smarter by being humbled by the author's intellect. I have a better idea, at least, of how little I know.
