A Whole New Mind

The human brain one side completely useless, the other side an intelligent, complex, and superior.  This is what was thought of the brain for a very long time. Studies in 1950 show that this theory could be wrong.
That the the useless right hemisphere of your brain is just as important as the once thought superior left hemisphere.

Studies of the right and left brain show that the left brain is analytic, while the right brain is creative. The left brain handles language, science, logic and more.  The forgotten right brain handles emotions, creativity, and more.  The author of A Whole New Mind, Daniel Pink, explains in the paragraph "Right Brain Rising"  that the right hemisphere is just as important as the left hemisphere.

Imagine having a stroke and only be able to use one hemisphere of your brain. This happened to neuroscienctist Jill Bolte Taylor, during her stroke she could only use the right hemisphere of her brain. Making Doctor Taylor look at the world through a different perspective. She was not able to to speak because she lost use of the left side of her brain.

"Creativity is intelligence having fun."

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
