from reading the first few chapters, you get an idea of what each hemisphere of the brain is responsible for. are you more "left brained" or "right brained"?
I like to process information in sequential order and look at things in parts (the trees and not the forest). I like details (e.g. colored tags inside clothes that no one gets to see but you) and the little things make me enormously happy. I do tend to focus on rules/regulations/acceptability which is tragic, I know.
That being said, I do dream wildly and am incredibly subjective (vs. objective) to most if not all social situations. I love questions that have no right answer and like to debate gray areas. If something has a right or wrong answer it frustrates me…(however white socks with black pants is always a wrong).
i think i am left brained. this book is making me remember fights i had with my best friend when i was little. she would yell things at me like "you're not FEEEEEEEELLINNGG. stop being such a rock!" which pretty much screams left brain.
i think society may value the left brain more, which is why we have starving artists, literally. i wonder if society pushes kids to be more left-brained, or if it's just something that most people would do anyways.
i feel like i try very hard to appreciate the way someone who is right brained thinks. it is a difficult task because i personally value left brained notions so much more. for some reason this article reminded me of left/right and how it impacts our lives in a subtle way. i read it senior year and it won the pulitizer worth the read and viewing the videos... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/04/AR2007040401721.html?referrer=digg
i have both brains. i'm smart and creative. i like puppies...which side of the brain do they belong to, i wonder. that would be the stronger side of my brain.

Still, I am predominantly left brained.
