My Stroke of Insight

My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor

Jill, a brain scientist, has a massive stroke at the age of 37. Her story tells how it felt to have the stroke and her journey through recovery. It would eventually take her 8 years to fully heal. As the reader joins her journey, Jill recounts the thoughts and steps it took to recover the function of her injured left brain. Jill alternates between two distinct realities: the euphoric and kinesthentic right brian and the rational detail-oriented left brain. By stepping into her right brain she learned that the feeling of nirvana is never more than a mere thought away.

This book is well writtien and organized. If you enjoy science and health subjects, this is a great read.
