Non-Fiction Memoir
Jill Taylor was a 37-year-old Harvard-trained brain
scientist when a blood vessel exploded in her brain. 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.
