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 & time-oriented side
- swung in an out of function Taylor alternated between two distinct & opposite realities: the euphoric Nirvana of the intuitive & emotional right brain in which she felt a sense of complete well-being & peace; & the logical left brain that realized Jill was having a stroke & enabled her to seek help before she was lost completely. In My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientists Personal Journey Taylor brings to light a new perspective on the brain & 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 & an amazing mother Taylor completely repaired her mind & recalibrated her understanding of the world according to the insight gained from her right brain that December morning.
