Comment on Ask HN: Summer reading

Comments

Two books which helped me to understand people and to organise my own thoughts:

Applying Psychology to Everyday Life: A Beginner's Guide http://www.amazon.co.uk/Applying-Psychology-Everyday-Life-Be...

A Whole New Mind - Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future http://www.amazon.co.uk/Whole-New-Mind-Right-brainers-Future...

There is actually little evidence for the left/right brain division we see so often in popular culture (and from what I see in the reviews, in the second book?)

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain_functi...

>although a lateral dominance is measurable, these characteristics are in fact existent in both sides,[1] and experimental evidence provides little support for correlating the structural differences between the sides with functional differences.[2]
