A must read for understanding the structure of our mind!

After reading Gladwell's Blink on trained intuition, I wanted to know more about our split brain and stumbled across this book. It clarifies how unconscious the left brain, which is supposed to be conscious, is, and vice versa for the right brain. It identifies the true unconscious as the limbic system, using an approach that combines psychoanalysis and neuroscience. The book then relates all the dimensions of my mind to our life journey from birth to adult with lots of examples. This book is totally key to understanding our behavior. Highly recommended!
