The New York Times best-selling author of My Stroke of Insight
blends neuroanatomy with psychology to show how we can
short-circuit emotional reactivity and find our way to peace. For
half a century we have been trained to believe that our right brain
hemisphere is our emotional brain, while our left brain houses our
rational thinking. Now neuroscience shows that it's not that
simple: in fact, our emotional limbic tissue is evenly divided
between our two hemispheres. Consequently, each hemisphere has both
an emotional brain and a thinking brain. In this groundbreaking new
book, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor-author of the New York Times bestseller
My Stroke of Insight-presents these four distinct modules of cells
as four characters that make up who we are: Character 1, Left
Thinking; Character 2, Left Emotion; Character 3, Right Emotion;
and Character 4, Right Thinking. Everything we think, feel, or do
is dependent upon brain cells to perform that function. Since each
of the Four Characters stems from specific groups of cells that
feel unique inside of our body, they each display particular
skills, feel specific emotions, or think distinctive thoughts. In
Whole Brain Living, available in paperback for the first time, Dr.
Taylor blends neuroanatomy with psychology to help us: Get
acquainted with our own Four Characters, observe how they show up
in our daily life, and learn to identify and relate to them in
others as well Apply the wisdom of the Four Characters to every
area of life-from work to relationships to health Use a powerful
practice called the Brain Huddle-a tool for bringing our Four
Characters into conversation with one another-to short-circuit
emotional reactivity, tap our characters' respective strengths, and
choose which one to embody in any situation The more we become
familiar with each of the characters in ourselves and others, the
more power we gain over our thoughts, our feelings, our
relationships, and our lives. Indeed, we discover that we have the
power to choose who and how we want to be in every moment. And when
our Four Characters work together and balance one another as a
whole brain, we gain a radical new road map to deep inner peace.
