What if the way we use our brains is shaping the fate of civilization? Iain McGilchrist, psychiatrist and author of The Master and His Emissary, argues that modern culture has fallen under the spell of the left hemisphere — obsessed with analysis, control, and short-term gain.
In this conversation, he’ll reveal how the neglected right hemisphere offers a very different way of seeing the world: holistic, intuitive, and rooted in meaning. What happens when a society prizes one mode of thinking at the expense of the other? And what might change if we restored the balance?
Join us as we explore the brain’s two halves, why they matter for how we live and lead, and how rethinking them might be the key to building a wiser, more humane future.
