The Power and Beauty of the Brain w/ Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor and Dr. Sue Morter
In 1996 at the age of 37, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, author of the New York Times bestselling memoir “My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey,” experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain. On the afternoon of this rare form of stroke (AVM), she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. It took eight years for Dr. Jill to completely rebuild her brain to recover all physical, emotional, and thinking abilities. A Harvard-trained neuroanatomist, Dr. Jill has since dedicated her life to the advancement of brain awareness. Dr. Jill’s Ted Talk about her experience has been viewed over 28 million times. In this program, she is joined by Dr. Sue Morter, author of The Energy Codes, to discuss the beauty of the brain.
