I am a 45 year old pastry chef, doula, housewife, not a serious student of Hegel and Heidegger. I have been near tears for much of this lecture. One thing that comes to mind is something I have told my children when they are really getting on my nerves and I have responded angrily and must apologize: What drives me most crazy about you is also the thing I most admire in you. My daughter is intuitive or overly sensitive. My son is creative, effective or disaster making/annoying. It was a wonderful thing to realize about people in general. McGilchrist and Jordan Peterson and Jonathan Pageau and others like them are truly shining beacons in our dark times.

Before I've even listened I am grateful that synchronicity ALWAYS provides the next bread crumb on my journey back to self. Thank you for sharing this conversation!<br><b>Wow. Has anyone ever spoken truer, more prescient words?</b>

This is one of the most profound lectures...We need more instutions and academia that can talk and enable this kind of thinking...

I return to this lecture once or twice a year when life gets especially challenging. I'm here again. It's the early morning of November 6, 2024 and I'm struggling to make sense of the what's happening in the world. Listening to Dr. McGilchrist helps me to get out of bed and meet the day.

This so good. You know when you have been thinking and struggling with ideas and then a smart person talks and everything becomes clear and illuminated? That just happened to me.

I have listened to this man for hours and hours… the 27 hour audio book and numerous 2+ hour podcasts and lectures. I am always better off every single time. Iain’s work has helped my mental health tremendously and I am so so grateful. He has explained our collective situation in ways my right brain could not make sense of. I love him. I can’t wait to read the new book!

This is easily - and certainly - the most beautiful lecture to which I've listened. I love and i am moved deeply by the unabashed sincerity, the grace and disposition toward human value and beauty, which roils sweetly through McGilchrist's every word. .

Saddled with false dichotomies, we're easily gaslit.

A point, a line and a circle are all a matter of perspective.

A scholar and an incredible orator! Few people speak English this well and functionally oriented anymore these days. With great ideas must come great capability to express them.
