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.
Dr. Jill's NY Times bestselling book, My Stroke of Insight was an overnight sensation went she was interviewed on the Oprah Winfrey show. Her youtube video talk in which she explains why and how we are truly spiritual beings, and what the true key to happiness is, was a phenomenal success, going viral with over 1.5 million views. This is a wonderful sign about how people are beginning to crave this sort of information in their lives. Hollywood Director Ron Howard is currently creating a feature film based on Dr. Jill's experiences.
If you haven't seen this video already, take 20 minutes out of your life to watch. It is definitely worth your time!
