About

When a stroke stopped her brain's left hemisphere, neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor transformed a personal medical crisis into a groundbreaking scientific discovery. As a Harvard-trained brain researcher, she experienced a profound neurological event that became her most significant research subject-her own stroke.

Her bestselling book 'My Stroke of Insight' illuminates the complex inner workings of human consciousness, revealing how brain physiology shapes our perception of reality. Taylor's extraordinary journey from patient to pioneering neuroscientist offers audiences a unique window into brain function, resilience, and the remarkable plasticity of human consciousness.
