The Neurotic's Guide to Avoiding Enlightenment: How the Left Brain Plays Unending Games of Self-Improvement by Chris Niebauer is a helpful guide that gives readers facts about our brain and Neuroscience. The book talks extensively about the facts surrounding the left side of our brain and gives readers a sort of spiritual enlightenment after reading. The author’s link to spirituality is evident - the teachings of Alan Watts and Eckhart Tolle back his viewpoints and these thoughts make the book profound and powerful. The author’s fresh take on how the human brain works is indeed very informative and interesting.
‘The left side of the brain created explanations and reasons to make sense about what was going on. It acts as a interpreter to reality.’ The facts pointed out by Gazzaniga about the left side of the brain are quite an eye opener, which tells us more about the left side of our brain and Neuroscience. The book actually is a useful guide that will help you in working towards self improvement. The ideas are original and fresh and the book is meant for ordinary people who worry about their thoughts and how to control them. It will leave you with a healthy and happy feeling in the end.
The examples given by the author are simple and that makes it easy to comprehend. The author also speaks about the interpretive mind and the non-interpretive mind and how they both work. I enjoyed the book. It is informative and educational.
