Have you ever wondered what it would feel like if you had a stroke? Or do you ever wonder what someone else is going through who has had a stroke? Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a brain researcher gives us a good idea in her book, My Stroke of Insight. Not only is she an expert in the field of neuroanatomy, she also experienced a severe hemorrhagic stroke. In her book, she recounts the events leading up to her stroke, detailed memories as the stroke occurred, and the eight years of recovery afterward. Before she had the stroke she had done extensive brain research for a number of years. As a result, the way she perceived and described her experience is unique to most. Below is a famous video of Dr. Taylor telling part of her incredible story:
Interested in meeting her in person? Dr. Taylor may be speaking in a city near you.
Are you more right-brained or left-brained? Could you try to consciously use the other side for an entire day?
