Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions – motion, speech, self-awareness – shut down one by one.
This is an astonishing story of a remarkable woman!

Hey JR!
Thanks for dropping in! Sorry to be so late seeing this comment.
Glad you stopped by and hope all is well 🙂
I personally have experienced a “short circuiting” left hemisphere and found this to be moving and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
Jill Bolte Taylor’s book is both life changing and life affirming. Her gift to us all is sharing her experiences and giving us the courage to look beyond the event or perceived result in others. Truly amazing.
Hey Kylen, she is an amazing woman 🙂 Have you heard her sing the brain song?
THIS is one of my favourite’s!….what an amazing experience!
thank you for reminding me of this, Gil.
