A Stroke of Insight: How to Get the Brain to Do What You Want
After her stroke Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor made a decision a million times each day to recover. That decision not only led to her eventual recovery, but a remarkable opportunity to share her experiences with audiences.
In a presentation that has been called nothing short of mesmerizing Taylor relives her experiences of having a stroke and gives audiences a brief guided tour of the brain. She describes the biological underpinnings of watching half her brain deteriorate and shares valuable insights on:
- Why she initially studied the brain, her research and her own brain disorder
- How to get the brain to do what you want it to do
- How to capitalize on the brain’s two hemispheres
- How the choices we make and the thoughts we think directly influence our level of joy
