you should have a look for "drawing on the right side of the brain" by Betty edwards. It's a creative oriented book but it has roots in some very interesting ideas. The right side of the brain is the more creative side, but also nonverbal. The communication centers are in the left side... dang i forget the name.. it's a German name begins with W.. but anyway, it raises all sorts of learning and communication issues. Ever been doing something manual and gotten into almost a trance? That is because you become right brain focussed and it doesn't go through that W center of speech.
Our education systems, and a lot of how our society works, is based on left brain interaction. It's not that the right brain people are slower, they just don't fit the tests.
i don't know which is really better.. left brain people probably thikn the world makes a lot more sense than others do, right brain people have rich creative souls, and the people who are more whole brain can either have the best of both or the worst of both. i have always felt dichotomous trying to integrate thinking and feeling... a type A personality but an artist's heart.
