Show notes
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?
