Of Two Minds : The Revolutionary Science of Dual-Brain Psychology
Outline: According to the author, a leading Harvard psychiatrist and researcher, advances in science prove what many of us have always intuited is true: We are of two minds, each one with a different degree of maturity, and each one associated with the left or the right brain. This brilliant, provocative book illustrates how the inter-action of these two minds - whether they sabotage each other or work in harmony - actually determines our psychological nature and ultimately the emotional problems or progress we may experience in life. Drawing on his own twenty-five years of research on the brain and behavior, the author gives us overwhelming evidence that each side of our brain possesses an autonomous, distinct personality - with its own set of memories, motivations, and behaviors. In working with his patients, the author discovered that strategically altering someone's visual field can positively or negatively affect that person's sense of well-being. He shows how using this technique of visual stimulation can activate the specific regions of the brain that harbor both traumatic and joyful memories. This dramatic break-through demonstrates how it is possible to access, isolate, and work with the memories encoded on one side of the brain.
