The document discusses two distinct thinking processes - an analytical, verbal left brain and an intuitive, visual right brain. The corpus callosum connects the two hemispheres and allows them to communicate and work together, though each side specializes in different types of information processing. The left brain is described as positive, analytical, linear, etc. while the right brain is intuitive, spontaneous, holistic, etc. Optimal thinking involves exercising both variability by considering many approaches, as well as selection of the best approaches.

2. We have two distinct thinking processes. One
that’s analytical and verbal housed in the left
side of the brain, and another that’s intuitive
and visual and seated in the brain’s right
hemisphere. There is a connector, the corpus
callosum, trough which these two halves
communicate. It is the communication network
which sends information back and forth
between the two hemisphere of the brain

3. Each side of the brain has its own area of
specialization and processes information in
its own way. Corpus Callosum enables
both hemisphere to work together for
almost every activity, although one
hemisphere or the other will predominate
for a specific tasks

4.  positive

 linear
 explicit
 sequential
 verbal
 concrete
 rational
 active
 goal oriented

5. Left brain dominant individuals are more
orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point.
They are good at understanding directions
and anything that is explicit and logical.
They can have trouble comprehending
emotions and abstract concepts, they can
feel lost when things are not clear,
doubting anything that is not stated and
proven.

6. The left brain dominant
type suffers from
limited approaches,
narrow-mindedness.

7.  intuitive
 spontaneous
 holistic
 playful
 non verbal
 diffuse
 symbolic
 artistic
 physical

8. Right brain dominant individuals are
more visual and intuitive. They are
better at summarizing multiple points,
picking up on what's not said,
visualizing things, and making things
up. They can lack attention to detail,
directness, organization, and the ability
to explain their ideas verbally, leaving
them unable to communicate
effectively.

9. The right brain
dominant type
suffers from too
many
approaches,
scatterbrained.

10. According to Darwinian theory, optimal
evolution takes place with random
variation and selective retention. The
evolution savvy individual will try many
different approaches when faced with a
problem and select the best of those
approaches.

11. Many historical intellectuals have
confessed their advantage was
simply considering/ exploring/trying
more approaches than others

12. To maintain balanced hemispheres, you
need to exercise both variability and
selection. Just as a company will have
more chance of finding a great candidate
by increasing their applicant pool

13. an individual who considers a wider set of
options is more likely to make quality
decisions.

15. Learning how to access
and use your less
preferred modes

16. how to trust your gut reactions, become aware of
your body, and use your senses more
purposely. This learning can be greatly aided by
the visceral nature of the brain’s limble system
and developing confidence in your body
reaction, emotional responses, sense of form &
structure, and your primal instincts

17. Learn how to use number, how to gather, and
analyze facts; how to acquire self discipline.
This learning can be greatly enhanced
attaining computer literacy, acquiring
memory and concentration skills by achieving
number processing competence, by learning
administrative skills and techniques, and by
practicing time managements skills

18. how to use both facts and insight, numbers and
metaphors, rational and intuitive problem solving
processes with situational effectiveness. This
learning can be aided by understanding the cognitive
and iterative nature of the brain’s cerebral
hemispheres. Practicing personal decision making by
moving back and forth between hard, fact based
positions and soft, insightful perceptions of the
issue, and acknowledge the equal validity of both
modes

19. Learn how to sense, feel, visualize, play and
trust your instincts. This learning can be
greatly aided by learning how to use creative
materials, to draw, to sculpt, to model
problems, to experience imagery, to develop
biofeedback skills and to be open to change
and personal risk
