Left Brain vs Right Brain, Finally Explained

For decades, pop psychology told us creative people are right-brained and analytical people are left-brained. The real science is far stranger, and far more important. In this video, we explore psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist's research on the divided brain: why both hemispheres do everything, how they approach the world in completely different ways, and what happens to a society when one half stops listening to the other. ____ Hidden Brain, hosted by me, Shankar Vedantam, is finally on YouTube! Like my podcast, this new video series will explore the unconscious patterns driving human behavior, our choices, and our relationships. ____ FIND HIDDEN BRAIN ONLINE Website: https://www.hiddenbrain.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiddenbrain/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiddenBrain/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hiddenbrain.bsky.social X: https://x.com/HiddenBrain LISTEN TO HIDDEN BRAIN ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST APP Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hidden-brain/id1028908750 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/20Gf4IAauFrfj7RBkjcWxh hiddenbrain.org: Patreon/Hidden Brain+: https://www.patreon.com/HiddenBrain https://www.hiddenbrain.org/
