Additional My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey Information

The astonishing New York Times bestseller that chronicles how a brain scientist's own stroke led to enlightenment

On December 10, 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven- year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist experienced a massive stroke in the left hemisphere of her brain. As she observed her mind deteriorate to the point that she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life-all within four hours-Taylor alternated between the euphoria of the intuitive and kinesthetic right brain, in which she felt a sense of complete well-being and peace, and the logical, sequential left brain, which recognized she was having a stroke and enabled her to seek help before she was completely lost. It would take her eight years to fully recover.

For Taylor, her stroke was a blessing and a revelation. It taught her that by "stepping to the right" of our left brains, we can uncover feelings of well-being that are often sidelined by "brain chatter." Reaching wide audiences through her talk at the Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED) conference and her appearance on Oprah's online Soul Series, Taylor provides a valuable recovery guide for those touched by brain injury and an inspiring testimony that inner peace is accessible to anyone.

It is the only book I have ever read twice. My copy was a gift from a fellow student who knew it would have a profound affect on me in "my pursuit to be the best nurse possible." I was most moved by the very first item in Appendix B, in the list Dr.

I am wounded. Taylor is an incredible inspiration and I intend to be a nurse professional who will make a difference to those who suffer brain trauma and require sensitive and understanding caregivers.

A very interesting description of an unusual situation. Gives an insight into the functioning and recovering of a damaged brain.
