Jill Bolte Taylor & A New Way of Seeing

A brain scientist, Taylor suffered a massive left hemisphere stroke, silencing as she put it, "the I am," and as it crept through her brain, she began to see the world differently. Her recovery took eight years, but she has a vivid new commentary on how the left and right brain hemispheres work. Her account evokes the descriptions of people who had what we call mystical experiences. She describes disappearing into a great, beautiful, universal energy field.



Her book is titled My Stroke of Insight.
