Comment on Jill Bolte Taylor, interview - ‘Stroke of Insight’ by Steven

Thank you for that. Jill Bolte Taylor’s My Stroke of Insight is one of the most incredible stories I’ve heard in a long time. Her TEDTalk video blew my mind wide open to new possibilities. On the one hand, there’s what she went through and how she emerged from it. On the other hand, there’s what she can teach all of us.
I saw the 4 part Oprah interview on Oprah dot com Soul Series and I did learn a lot from that, but I’d like to find our more of how to do what Dr. Taylor did, without having a stroke of course!
Thin how many of us are living too much in the head, and not the heart. And of course, you can’t get more left brain than a Harvard Brain Scientist. Isn’t it ironic that she should be the one to have the stroke and transform from the quintessential left brainer into this “”seen the light”" disciple of finding inner peace?
I hope this movement keeps going. Maybe there will be My Stroke of Insight classes where we can practice what Jill Bolte Taylor is preaching.

Interesting presentation. The woman had a mystical experience triggered by a massive stroke. I’m not sure that what she says correlates with the standard model of cerebral hemisphere function. What she’s saying is that the two sides of our brains have completely different personalities. In her particular case this may be true, but I don’t think you can generalize the experience of one person to the whole human race. The answer to human social problems is not to shut off half our brains, but to use all our brains for decent ends. A very interesting and animated lecture.
