Hi all

Another book I'd strongly recommend for MOQers is this one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Master-His-Emissary-Divided-Western/dp/0300188374/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1360842736&sr=1-1

McGilchrist explains how the two halves of the brain seem to work very 
differently and how this has influenced our society and culture
in massive ways. MOQers can very much read this as a book about how the 
different halves of the brain have adapted to deal with SQ
in the one half and DQ in the other. And how the left and SQ biased has come 
to dominate our thinking and society and led to a very
split and dualistic form of thinking.

Here's some videos explaining the key ideas:

Here's a paper exploring the key ideas:

The book has had a big impact in the UK and many interesting
people and thinkers are exploring its ideas.

All the best
