I think you’re on to something there. I just read an interview this morning with one of my favorite artists, saying that getting older enables you to hold two contradictory ideas at once, and I think that really is true. I hope you like the book! It can be a bit academic, but I highlighted the heck out of it.

If you’re interested in the right/left duality, you might also look into the work of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, if you haven’t already. She is a neuroscientist who suffered a severe left hemisphere stroke, and what she has to say about the impact is astounding. She has a great TED talk from way back when.
I haven't read Dr. Taylor's work, but you talked about her book on the podcast and I was intrigued. I used to be a high school teacher and was really geeky about the brain and attended quite a few seminars/workshops on the brain, particularly with engagement and learning. Fun fact: teaching isn't really an art, as most people say. It's science; it's the brain. I'm looking forward to reading something more academic on a topic that interests me...it's been awhile.
