Amazing Lecture — A Brain Researcher Describes Her Stroke
Jump to Comments
If you haven’t had the opportunity to see this video of Jill Bolte Taylor, I urge you to take 20 minutes out of your day. Jill is a brain researcher who woke up one day and realized she was having a stroke. Her description of what happened next and how this experience changed her life is something we can all learn from. This is one of the top ten videos I have every watched!

Thank you for that. Jill Bolte Taylor’s My Stroke of Insight is one of the most incredible stories I’ve heard in a long time. Her TEDTalk video blew my mind wide open to new possibilities. On the one hand, there’s what she went through and how she emerged from it. On the other hand, there’s what she can teach all of us.
I saw the 4 part Oprah interview on Oprah dot com Soul Series and I did learn a lot from that, but I’d like to find our more of how to do what Dr. Taylor did, without having a stroke of course!
Thin how many of us are living too much in the head, and not the heart. And of course, you can’t get more left brain than a Harvard Brain Scientist. Isn’t it ironic that she should be the one to have the stroke and transform from the quintessential left brainer into this “”seen the light”" disciple of finding inner peace?
I hope this movement keeps going. Maybe there will be My Stroke of Insight classes where we can practice what Jill Bolte Taylor is preaching.
