'A unique insight into human consciousness and its possibilities'
The Times 'Incredible' New Scientist 'This book is important for
everyone . . . I love this book' Oprah Winfrey On the morning of
the 10th December 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven-year-old
Harvard-trained brain scientist experienced a massive stroke when a
blood vessel exploded in the left side of her brain. A
neuroanatomist by profession, she observed her own mind completely
deteriorate to the point that she lost the ability to walk, talk,
read, write, or recall any of her life, all within the space of
four hours. As the damaged left side of her brain - the rational,
logical, detail and time-oriented side - swung in an out of
function, Taylor alternated between two distinct and opposite
realities: the euphoric Nirvana of the intuitive and emotional
right brain, in which she felt a sense of complete well-being and
peace; and the logical left brain, that realized Jill was having a
stroke and enabled her to seek help before she was lost completely.
In My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey,
Taylor brings to light a new perspective on the brain and its
capacity for recovery that she gained through the intimate
experience of awakening her own injured mind. The journey to
recovery took eight years for Jill to feel completely healed. Using
her knowledge of how the brain works, her respect for the cells
composing her human form, and an amazing mother, Taylor completely
repaired her mind and recalibrated her understanding of the world
according to the insight gained from her right brain that December
morning.
