Episode 9: Better Together... Two Halves of a Balanced Brain
I didn't leave anything on the table with this one.
Yes, there's neuroscience. There's definitely balance. And ... maybe ... there's even hope.
Maybe.
Because this episode lays out what I think is the most important opportunity we humans have to face the "poly-crises" we're currently addressing and rethink our place in a future we want to be part of.
That belief stems from a growing understanding of the differences between the hemispheres of the brain and what we left behind when we surged forward with the pursuit of linear knowledge and rationality at the expense of balanced intelligence.
This one was hard. I confess it's a theme I've thought and learned about for years, yet struggled to put into words that actually made sense. I hope I've done that here, and that this episode gets you thinking about what might be unseen, untapped, and yet ... potentially unstoppable in YOUR brain as you think about the challenges you're facing and how you want to activate change.
Be sure to visit the Episode Page at www.thebrainandbeyond.com/episodes/9 for additional resources on the hemispheres and ways to learn more.
Thank you. I mean it when I say I'm glad you're here.
