Summary
In The Right Mind: Making Sense of the Hemispheres, acclaimed psychologist Robert Ornstein explores the brain’s duality with clarity, insight, and a touch of poetic curiosity. Drawing on decades of cognitive research, Ornstein delves into how the left and right hemispheres shape our perception of reality, creativity, and logic. Rather than rehashing pop-science clichés, he challenges the oversimplification of "left-brain vs. right-brain" thinking and instead presents a nuanced portrait of mental balance. This book is a must-have for anyone intrigued by human consciousness, the evolution of the mind, and the mysterious interplay between thought and feeling. A foundational work in cognitive psychology, The Right Mind belongs on the shelf of readers seeking to better understand not just how the brain works—but how we experience the world.
