Whole Brain Living

The four-character framework implies that emotional pain is one character's state rather than the whole self. The model treats the four characters as distinguishable neural networks, not literally isolated separate brains. The four-character model divides experience into left thinking, left emotion, right emotion, and right thinking systems. Whole brain living frames human behavior as emerging from interactions among four major neural systems rather than a single inner voice. Whole brain living aims to make automatic character patterns conscious and flexible.
