My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor

3.0

Jill Taylor is a brain scientist who had experienced a stroke in her left brain. The book is about her personal journey of experiencing a stroke and then recovering from it. Because the brain is so plastic Dr. Jill was able to fully recover in 8 years.

You will appreciate your brain while reading this book. I loved chapter 16 which talked about the difference between your left and right mind.


You can finish this book in 1-3 days, a very light read. The 3 stars because I honestly expected more from this book. She doesn't go into much details about the recovery process, she just keeps talking endlessly about how the brain is beautiful.
