The human brain forms the lens through which we perceive ourselves and the world. Yet most of us don't understand how the architecture of the human brain shapes our perceptions. Waking Up From History takes a tour through the brain - the primitive layers, the limbic system or emotional brain - and the neocortex, who's most dramatic feature is being divided into two hemispheres. These hemispheres see the world in dramatically different ways.
Our neural architecture has huge impacts on how we live, love, and show up in our daily lives. The author combines evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, and a scientific framework with personal investigations into Integral Theory, Yoga, Tantra and Taoism to try to make sense of the confusing range of human behavior, and arriving at conclusions that may alter how you see yourself and your life.
