*From our recommended reading list: "The Matter With Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions, and the Unmaking of the World" by Iain McGilchrist*
In this book, McGilchrist argues that the modern world is increasingly dominated by left-hemisphere thinking—mechanistic, abstract, and reductionist—at the expense of the holistic, contextual, and intuitive insights of the right hemisphere.

He proposes a reintegration of both hemispheres’ perspectives to reconnect with the fuller richness of the world and restore a more harmonious way of being.
