analiep 's review for:
The Master and His Emissary
by Iain McGilchrist
"Consciousness is not a bird, hovering and detached, but a tree, its roots deep inside us." I loved this metaphor and the author's skilled unveiling of the right hemisphere's role in understanding context, empathy, and social connectedness. He shows how much we need the right hemisphere to live as "skilled participants in the life of the world" rather than detached analysts, which is the skew favored by the left hemisphere. This is one of the most important books I've read.
