#25 @Malcolm_Ocean on Self-Coercion, Systems Thinking, and The Divided Brain

In this information-packed episode Malcolm Ocean and I dissect The Divided Brain. We discuss the interplay between communication, self-coercion, and the roles of the left and right hemispheres.

Malcolm answers questions like:

  • What is at the core of good conversation?

  • Is pursuit of productivity fundamentally ego-driven?

  • Is anxiety and self-coercion useful, and if so how?

  • How do you think we can we best attend to what our experiences are telling us about how we should orient ourselves?

  • Should we understand the conscious mind as fundamentally passive?
