Informed Insight

Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained brain scientist whose life came to a grinding halt when at age 37 she suffered a massive, near-fatal stroke. The left side of her brain, which is responsible for logic, ego, and language went offline and she was left with a feeling of euphoria and enlightenment. She has fully recovered and she tells her story in “My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey.”
