About this listen

John and Danny discuss Dr Iain McGilchrist's brilliant 2009 book, The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World.


We explore the differences between the right and left hemispheres of the brain, how left hemisphere overreach may be at the heart of many modern maladies, and what we might do to ensure better balance.
