The oversimplified notion of left brain-right brain, which could even imply that we use only half of our brains, is not an accurate depiction of how the brain actually works. Research has shown that the notion of brain specialisation is valid, with these specialised areas being massively interconnected—so we are ‘hardwired’ to be whole. The brain is physically constructed so that specialised areas of processing can collaborate with other areas of specialisation even though we have developed preferences for certain mental activities over others. The Whole Brain Thinking concept uses this structure as the basis of its metaphoric description of how we think. The four-quadrant Whole Brain Model allows us to differentiate and accurately describe the array of preferences we each have for each quadrant, while recognising that we have preferences for some over others. The organising principle of the brain sets us up for wholeness.
