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?
