There are reasons we are the way we are; we are optimized for other purposes, not the least of which is thinking in stories not logic. So we did something else instead: we taught rocks how to think.

The Magic of Sleep Thinking: How to Solve Problems, Reduce Stress, and Increase Creativity While You Sleep, Eric Maisel
Our guest suggests that in order to understand ourselves and the world we need science and intuition, reason and imagination, not just one or two; that they are in any case far from being in conflict; and that the brainâs right hemisphere plays the most important part in each. And he shows us how to recognise the âsignatureâ of the left hemisphere in our thinking, so as to avoid making decisions that bring disaster in their wake. Following the paths of cutting-edge neurology, philosophy and physics, he reveals how each leads us to a similar vision of the world, one that is both profound and beautiful â and happens to be in line with the deepest traditions of human wisdom. It is a vision that returns the world to life, and us to a better way of living in it: one we must embrace if we are to survive. It is a pleasure to welcome the author of âThe Matter With Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions, and the Unmaking of the Worldâ Iain McGilchrist
