Are you managing your brain? Or is your brain managing you? If you value self-knowledge, sooner or later you will face the profound role that the radically different perspectives of your left- and right-brain hemispheres play in your daily decisions. This timely book guides you in integrating these diverse but complementary views of the world and delves into the impact of brain lateralization on political progress, cultural polarization, and even the quest for personal and world peace. A practical field guide to whole-brain, heart-centered living, The Whole-Brain Path to Peace takes you a crucial step beyond the science of brain lateralization; this book invites you into a new way of perceiving your world through whole-brain living. But a holistic approach to self-understanding also requires the illumination of philosophy and the insights of modern revelation. Olson's broader view highlights the distortions that each side of the brain can have when not informed by the other, and points us to more sensible ways of achieving greater balance.

James Olson is an independent philosopher and integrative thinker whose holistic worldview comes from a core of conservative values and integrates the inclusive perspective of Eastern religion, the liberal values of Europe, the wisdom of ancient Egypt, the facts of science, the disciplines of philosophy, and the spiritual insights offered by modern revelation. He lives in San Francisco.

These contrasting perceptions of the world, in turn, become a direct cause of the crippling polarizations we see today in gender relations, politics, and public policy--leading to culture wars and even modern warfare. Noting that one side of the brain always tends to dominate the other, Olson offers novel methods to minimize this imbalance. N° de réf. du vendeur 00097306934
