A review by bookitalum
My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor

2.0

This book will interest it’s target audience, but it’s not something I would widely recommend. It goes in a lot of different directions, resulting in a lack of general cohesion. It begins with a neuroscience primer, includes her first hand account of a hemorrhagic stroke, and then strays into the metaphysical. Personally, I feel like she could have skipped the neuroscience primer. I suspect the primary audience for this book will be medical professionals who already know the info (and the “basics” she gives are far too complex for the average non-academic reader).
