Robert Bly also speaks about the "three brains" of man, but unlike in the more scientific description above, he calls them the reptilian, the mammalian, and the new brain, in order to have them correspond better to our evolution stages thus, in a way, building upon MacLean's ideas. According to Bly, the first brain is "cold and ruthless" and deals with survival issues. The mammalian part deals with comforts such as family, friends, relationships, belonging, society, religion, home, etc.

The "new" brain is "very thin, incredibly dense" and is basically a "cellular layer surrounding the rest of the brain," according to Bly. This, according to scientists, has "no purpose." Bly states that "it deals with transcendence and grows on miserly." Just as in the description above, in Bly's description all brain exist simultaneous but shrink or grow, depending upon where energy is focused. For example, each can control energy, and the first two especially will do so when survival is threatened.

The examinations of the brain above are interesting in that they are quite alike, though one is much more scientific, while the latter is much more practical and speaks of the brain in a scientific but easy to understand, and a bit more straightforward way. However, both pieces have merit and both aim to explain one of the least understood organs in our body.
