The best ideas often arrive sideways - often when you’re paying attention to something else.

HI Alex, I'm enjoying your posts.

Have you read Iain McGilchrist’s book ‘The Master and his emissary ’.

I've just started it!

Thanks Michele. Ah yeah it's a great book! They actually cover some similar territory, but with a shift of focus. I find him incredibly humane and wise.

Yeh and he lives in Skye now so another nature lover at the helm. (Think you'd have to be to live there)

My brother actually knows him (also an eminent psychiatrist!) but says he doesn't agree with a lot of Iain's theories!
