He is committed to the idea that the mind and brain can be understood only by seeing them in the broadest possible context, that of the whole of our physical and spiritual existence, and of the wider human culture in which they arise – the culture which helps to mould, and in turn is moulded by, our minds and brains. 00:00 - Introducing "Feed Your Head" and Compliments on the Book 05:22 - The Seductive Power of the Left Hemisphere 10:40 - The Brain's Division and Complexity 15:41 - The Evolutionary Goal of Survival 20:50 - The Special Role of the Human Being and the Repair of Vessels 25:40 - The Relationship between Resistance and Creation 30:51 - Insight into the Nature of Existence 35:48 - The Importance of Flow and Narrative in Understanding 40:40 - Rediscovering the Right Brain Full write-up and extras: http://www.feedyourhead.blog Learn more about Dr. McGilchrist at https://channelmcgilchrist.com Read the transcript www.feedyourhead.blog/p/your-control-freak-left-brain Follow for new interviews on mysticism, creativity, and altered states. 👍 Like the video 💬 Comment with your favorite insight 🔔 Subscribe for more deep-dive conversations #science #physical #spiritual #physiology #neuroscience #brainscience #brain
