On the morning of December 10, 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven year old Harvard trained brain scientist, experienced a massive stroke when a blood vessel exploded in the left side of her brain. A neuroantomist by profession,she observed her own mind completely deteriorate to the point that she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life, all within the space of four brief hours.
In My Stroke of Insight, Taylor shares her unique perspective on the brain and its capacity for recovery, and the sense of omniscient understanding she gained from this unusual and inspiring voyage out of the abyss of a wounded brain.
