Jill Bolte Taylor's Stroke of Insight

We all "people watch". There have been moments when I watch the foot traffic and imagine brains bobbing by. It seems that we are all just brains wearing an outer shell. However, intellectually I understand that we can mold our brains. We can re-wire. We can evolve if we chose to practice. We can learn new skills, quit old habits, realize new ideas and adapt.

The below video is of brain researcher Jill Bolte Taylor. I originally learned of this woman as she appeared on the Oprah show a year or more ago. She spoke of how she lived through and experienced her own stroke.

Taylor gives us insight into the inner workings of our two brain hemispheres and to their potential.



Jill Bolte Taylor has written a book entitled My Stroke of Insight. The book can be purchased here.
