The Whole-Brain Path to Peace: The Role of Left- and Right-Brain Dominance in the Polarization and Reunification of America by James Olson (Hardback, 2011)
Are you managing your brain? Or is your brain managing you? If you value self-kwledge, sooner or later you will face the profound role that the radically different perspectives of your left- and right-brain hemispheres play in your daily decisions. This timely book guides you in integrating these contrasting views of the world - and also delves into the impact of brain lateralisation on political progress, cultural polarisation, and even the quest for personal and world peace. Each of us has a unique method of drawing our perceptions from our two hemispheres, a capacity that varies widely with gender, culture, and genetics. Drawing from this understanding, The Whole-Brain Path to Peace reveals that we also have the freedom to adjust our perception by simply shifting our brain perspectives at will, as each occasion demands. A practical field guide to whole-brain, heart-centered living The Whole-Brain Path to Peace takes you a crucial step beyond the science of brain lateralisation; this book invites you into a new way of perceiving your world through whole-brain living. But success on this path, argues author James Olson, also requires the illumination of philosophy and the far-reaching insights of modern revelation. Olson's broader view highlights the distortions that each side of the brain can have when t informed by the other, and points us to more sensible ways of achieving greater balance. Through a detailed look at disastrous examples of brain dominance, Olson explains that the need for whole-brain unity is especially acute in our culture, where the holistic influence of the right brain is too often suppressed. For it is only by integrating the two sides of the brain that we can make a connection to our deepest heart, and thereby achieve the path to peace.
