This book helps unpack the current culture and society we are in - specifically the difference between right brain and left brain hemispheres. Ian McGilchrist draws on a vast body of recent research in neuroscience and psychology  to reveal that the difference is profound: the left hemisphere is detail oriented, while the right has greater breadth, flexibility, and generosity. McGilchrist then takes the reader on a journey through the history of Western culture, illustrating the tension between these two worlds as revealed in the thought and belief of thinkers and artists from Aeschylus to Magritte.

This book is helpful if you have questions or desires to go deeper in the area of worldview, and why we see Guide Development as critical to the Church today.
