In a left-hemisphere dominated world, these right-hemisphere capacities are dramatically underdeveloped.

They don't always unfold predictably, but they do provide a roadmap for enlisting the whole brain, moving back and forth between analytic, deductive, left-hemisphere thinking, and more pattern-seeking, big-picture, right-hemisphere thinking.

Biologists had long assumed handedness was a uniquely human trait, a byproduct of the same left-hemisphere, right-hemisphere brain asymmetry that plays a role in language, our loftiest achievement.

There are several ways to access and evoke the experience of right-hemisphere focus, but perhaps none so reliable and powerful as an exercise devised by Betty Edwards, a former art professor who is the author of the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
