Unabridged Audiobook
The author poses interesting ideas, but ultimately falls short of providing convincing evidence for his arguments. Basically all of it relies on a simplistic model of a left-brain/right-brain dichotomy , which I believe has largely been discredited, and then tries to cram all of history into this paradigm. He presents a lot of interesting ideas and he is an engaging narrator, but ultimately he plays pretty loose with the evidence to support his claims.
This brilliant surgeon had such a creative and inquisitive mind. His books were always well crafted combinations of facts, facile story telling, curiosity and investigation leading to really paradigm changing views on the subject of each of his books. He’s an all-time favorite author of mine.
