We revisit our conversation with Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a Harvard-trained brain scientist whose life came to a grinding halt when at age 37 she suffered a massive, near-fatal stroke. The left side of her brain, which is responsible for logic, ego, and language went offline and she was left with a feeling of euphoria and enlightenment. She has fully recovered and she tells her story in “My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey.”

Brain Scientist’s Stroke Leads To Enlightenment
This was really a great listen and sounds like quite an amazing experience. One of the better stories that I've heard in a while. Here is the summary and link to the interview that is really worth listening to... why else would I post it?

I finished her book not long ago. An amazing woman with an amazing gift for us!
Golly.
It didn't do a thing for her voice.
I simply couldn't listen to it.
What on earth is a "cardio-glider"?
Do I need to know?
No.
Wow, I didn't expect a comment like that from you, Crow.
Why not? I am a crow!
But seriously: certain voices make me flee for the treetops.
My ears are as good as a bat's.
This can be useful.
It can also be a severe handicap.
Squawk!
I can't listen to it because I am on a public computer, but as a metacomment I might say...might as well be honest. What good is an opinion if not sincerely meant?
