Description
Our understanding of the world is shaped by how we attend to it. In fact, attention is not just receptive, but actively creative of our experience. Iain McGilchrist explores how our brain's hemispheres construct reality and reveals that our usual way of attending - dominated by the left hemisphere - may be misleading.
The difference between the hemispheres lies not in what they do, but in how they attend. One hemisphere is skilled at utilising the world, while the other excels at understanding it. This book helps us see what we may have been trained to overlook due to our cultural norms.
