In 2009, psychiatrist and professor Iain McGilchrist wrote an amazing and highly detailed book called The Master and His Emissary, which is about the two hemispheres of the brain and how they operate together to help us be who we are.  His work debunks much, if not most, of the popular understanding of the two hemispheres.

So, I felt excited when someone shared with me a link to an interview with McGilchrist on the NPR podcast Hidden Brain. The conversation is informative and yet understandable for non-experts. You can find both the interview and a transcript of it here.
