The master and his emissary

“So this really great guy called Iain McGilchrist and he wrote a book called The Master and His Emissary, neuroscientist but also a philosopher.”

“so Ian mcgilchrist guy that wrote The Master in his Emissary fantastic really great insight”

“he wrote this book called the master in his emissary and it's all about the two sides of the brain”

“And of course, you referenced the work of Ian McGrist, the master and his emissary, and his a past econ where we talked about that those two kinds of attention. And I encourage listeners to go back and listen to that episode to to look at I would say read his book, but his book is quite dense and quite”

“I also want to reference, you know, the conversation I did with Iain McGilchrist, which is also his book, um The Master and His Emissary, or The Master and His Emissary.”

“People say, 'This is a great book, The Master and His Emissary, but you need to write something about half the length that will be more accessible.' And so, I got a contract with Penguin Random House to do that.”

“um it follows on from the book that you mentioned the master and his emissary but it takes the philosophical implications of the fact that our brains are divided and that each half of the brain produces a different version of the experiential world”

“and uh when i discovered when i was researching the master in his emissary the book that's now 10 years old i came across this fascinating thing that one of the most fundamental differences between the hemispheres is their way of attending and it didn't entirely hit me at the time”

“and in the first book the master in his embassy one of the things i was expounding was how this business of attention creates a whole distinct world”

“and the idea of the master and the emissary is is i i won't go through the the myth of it i've explained it so many times but the basic idea is that the master the right hemisphere knows that it needs an atmosphere to do the sort of functional administration work”

“apart from people enormously movingly writing to me saying things i never thought i would ever hear from writing a book like your book changed my life and i'm sure you've had this too but you know people saying what you're saying i kind of knew i've known this but i couldn't find any way of articulating it”

“the industrial revolution was a kind of acting out in the outer world of the world picture of the left hemisphere in some ways i talk about that more in the master in his emissary”

“and that's why in the master in his emissary i suggest there were three periods in the west in early greek civilization in the peak of roman civilization again at the renaissance in the west where these were working well together”

“he's most well known for his book the master and his emissary and i think you have a copy of that i asked you to get that so that you could show people um the master and his emissary the divided brain in the making of the western world which is an analysis of hemispheric specialization and its philosophical and”

“well you take pains in in the master and his emissary to to promote the idea or to call attention to the idea that something extremely mysterious is going on in relationship to hemispheric specialization”

“now you're in your new book and and to some degree in the master and this emissary you're also making you're mixing your neurological analysis with philosophical speculation”

“So Imagoka's first book was called the master and his emissary. The master and his emissary.”

“He wrote the master and his emissary back in 2010.”

“You know this Ian McGill Chris guy, you probably had him on. He wrote the master in his emissary. So, he wrote this book about how the right brain and the left brain don't do different things. They do the same thing differently.”

“his book The Master and his Emissary says the part of the brain that knows meaning should be the master”
