A review by pantsuitparty
The Master and His Emissary by Iain McGilchrist

4.0

Wouldn’t even know where to start on reviewing this. It’s really good though. There are some pretty sweeping generalizations and cherry-picking from arts and culture to really ‘nail the point home’ (and yes, some glaring omissions as well), but I think McGilchrist does a good enough job disclaiming that fact from the get-go.

There’s so much to cover here that he’s bound to miss the mark on a couple of levels. Ultimately it doesn’t detract from the multi-layered, thoughtful and systematic reveal of some pretty major shifts in humanity, and what they’ve wrought (and are wreaking).
