Through the eyes of a curious scientist, she watched her mind deteriorate whereby she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. Because of her understanding of the brain, her respect for the cells in her body, and an amazing mother, Jill completely recovered. In My Stroke of Insight, she shares her recommendations for recovery and the insight she gained into the unique functions of the two halves of her brain. When she lost the skills of her left brain, her consciousness shifted away from normal reality where she felt "at one with the universe." Taylor helps others not only rebuild their brains from trauma, but helps those of us with normal brains better understand how we can consciously influence the neural circuitry underlying what we think, how we feel and how we react to life's circumstances. 137242 book 1 11 2006 My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey total:1821|5:424|4:694|3:509|2:168|1:26| 1821 6785 3414 729 3 16 false false Wed Sep 17 13:55:56 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 20 15:13:53 -0700 2008 ...more...]]> 4 14 false false Fri Feb 20 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 01 15:55:49 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 15:55:13 -0800 2009
