Will I love Whole Brain Living?

As a follow-up to Jill Bolte-Taylor's TED Talk "My Stroke of Insight" and previous book with the same title, this is a thought-provoking invitation to sort of befriend our own brain by understanding its functionality and, dare I say, personality.

I often read a serious book followed by a fun novel, then another serious book, and so on. This book is definitely on the serious side (borderline textbook), but fascinating if you're into cerebral stimulation.

I found this book so compelling that I not only read it but found myself putting it into practice right away in my own life and with my patients. Jill Bolte Taylor’s story is quite remarkable in the way she describes witnessing her own massive stroke, its effect on her brain and body, and her eight-year journey of healing herself back to health and wellness.

I’m delighted with this book because it so aligns with the work I do. Dr. Taylor is a very well-known neuroanatomist, who has scientifically discovered so much about how the brain works, and I love how what she discovered lines up exactly with what we’ve discovered that I’ve written about extensively. In the few conversations I’ve had with her, I’ve been blown away by how much her research validates our process of Inner Bonding. This powerful book will help you to understand so much about yourself.
