Dr. Taylors' talk has had a profound impact on me personally and almost everyone I know who has seen it. We need truly such awakening insights to help humanity rise above the pettiness which is destroying the world and everything we love & care about.

Babs had been promoting her book for months in advance and Dr. Taylor's book was self-published. Then Oprah recommended it. There's the Power of Now, and then there's the Power of Oprah!! "My Stroke of Insight" is out in Hardcover now for less than the old paperback edition. Amazon has it for 40% off.

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. Thank you for that.

It's an amazing story, both uplifting and powerful on three levels: physical, emotional, and spiritual, but the spiritual aspect alone makes this the best book I've read all year. How often do you get to hear a neuroscientist describe having a stroke, nearly dying and finding Nirvana, and then making a miraculous recovery so that she's back to teaching medical students!?! I came away with a renewed sense of understanding, wonder and hopefulness about the capabilities of the human brain. I give "My Stroke of Insight" highest marks! You can get the book for just $16.47 with free shipping from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Stroke-Insight-Scientists-Personal/dp/0670020745/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210709205&sr=8-4" rel="nofollow">Amazon!</a> I’ve been recommending a book by Jill Bolte Taylor called “My Stroke of Insight” to everyone I know.
