Dr Iain McGilchrist joins Chris Rawlinson in this 42courses podcast to talk about the marvels of the human brain, creativity, sleep and more.

Dr Iain McGilchrist is a psychiatrist, author and possibly one of the greatest thinkers alive and has spent most of his life studying the brain and the uniqueness of its two hemispheres. 

During our chat, Iain tells us about his journey into understanding the two hemispheres of the brain, why the right brain is more important for creativity, creative exercises for the brain, and even how children develop the concept of time. 

It’s a fascinating discussion, so be sure to give it a listen.

Video Summary:
Dr. Iain McGilchrist is a writer and doctor who worked as a psychiatrist. He started off as a student of literature and philosophy and now gives many talks over the internet. He describes himself as an incredibly curious person who has always been interested in a lot of things, including philosophy and theology. 

He ended up studying literature at Oxford and then got a fellowship, which allowed him to spend seven years reading and finding out about things. His first book took nearly 30 years to write and his second took around 10 to 15 years. 

He believes that people have always thought of the brain as a machine, but the brain is not just about what it does, but also about how it works. He believes that the distinction between the "how" and the "what" is very important in understanding the brain and other problems in the world.
