A Literal Stroke of Insight Into Who We Are

Brain scientist, Jill Bolte Taylor's real-life stroke proved to be a stroke of genius. She speaks of the experience with passion. It was joyful and spiritual, insightful and philosophical, and utterly fascinating—for her, and she brings us into it almost as if we were there, too. [20:11]

She experienced each side of her brain as a separate and complete entity, each living in its own world. She describes the right brain as being of the moment, whole, and seeing us as energy beings, while the left hemisphere is focused on details, categorizing, and projecting possibilities into the future. This is a stunning talk that will both fascinate you and open your eyes.

Minor warning: The volume in the beginning is very loud. You may want to lower it temporarily until the intro is finished.
