Product Information
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.Product Identifiers

Everyone should read this
My husband suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage in April 2019. My Aunt and Uncle gave me this book. It helped me to understand what my husband was going through and gave me coping strategies for myself and our child. I would urge anyone to read this If they have a family member who has suffered a stroke or brain injury.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Enlightening
A fabulous read. A remarkable story, beautifully written. An extremely brave, positive woman giving a wonderfully concise overview of her experience as a " brain doctor " overcoming a stroke. Yet more than this. A lesson in the duality of the human experience and the functionality of the left and right hemisphere of our brains. A very compelling and enlightening book which everyone should read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
