Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of insight
Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
Jill has written a great book in more depth about this. My Stroke of Insight. It's beautifully written and a feel-better book if there ever were one (Oprah's devoting 4 webcast shows to talking with Jill about her story on Soul Series). Here's the AMazon link to the book. Enjoy! http://www.amazon.com/My-Stroke-Insight-Scientists-Personal/dp/0670020745/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210953415&sr=8-2
