My next guest is Dr. Iain McGilchrist, he is a psychiatrist, scholar and a writer. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, former Oxford Literary Scholar and author of the groundbreaking books: The Master and His Emissary: the divided brain and the making of the western world and more recently, his two volume book: The Matter with Things.Dr. Mcgilchrist was elected as fellow at All Souls college at 21 years old, and was further re-elected 2 more times. HE went on to train as a psychiatrist, taking on position of clinic director at BEnthlem Royal and Maudsley hospital in London. He trained in many units including becoming a research fellow in neuroimaging at Johns Hopkins. In todays dialogue we begin by discussing the divided brain, further highlighting how and why the left hemisphere has become more dominant in our culture, and why that is an issue. We focus on particular cognitive functions such as language and attention to further illustrate their differences and importance between hemispheres. Finally we plunge into a deep conversation about moral intuitionism, consciousness, asymmetry, truth, beauty, goodness, values and conscience. We end with a series of fun rapid fire questions to gain a greater picture of who Dr. Iain Mcgilchrist is as a person. Feel free to skip around if any of these topics are of interest to you.My website: drchancnc.comInstagram: @draldrichanGuest website: https://channelmcgilchrist.com/Books: Reassembling Models of Reality: https://a.co/d/7VFzUJ4Master and his Emissary: https://a.co/d/4Jk0zMpThe Matter with Things: https://a.co/d/8UBMbOb
