38. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor on the beauty and resilience of the brain

Welcome back to the Looking at Lyme Podcast... here we are in Season 3! In this episode, Sarah explores how the brain functions with Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Dr. Jill was working as a neuroanatomist, teaching and conducting research at the Harvard School of Medicine when she experienced a severe hemorrhagic stroke. After recovering from that stroke, Dr. Jill wrote about her experience and has travelled the world giving inspirational talks, including one of the first TED talks to go viral! She describes that fascinating experience in her first book “My Stroke of Insight” and joins us today to talk about what she refers to as “Whole Brain Living”, which is also the title of her new book.“If people realize that all they had to do was quiet the noisy left language centres in our left hemisphere, then they too could find this peace.” - Dr. Jill Bolte TaylorRead the show notes, Looking at Lyme Whole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our LifeTED Talk: My stroke of insight
