August 26, 2009Taylor’s “stroke of insight” was her real neuroscience teacher
Jill Bolte Taylor tells an amazing story of a massive stroke, that shut her brain functions — motion, speech, self-awareness — down one by one. An astonishing story.
She has become a powerful voice for brain recovery. I recommend her book or video “My stroke of insight” to help you understand the different functions in your brain.
What struck me most was her observation that she learned more about neuroscience from her own experience than she had from years of research.
How often do we study things and think we understand them, only to learn that the experience is not at all what our study leads us to believe?
Knowledge and experience support each other.
That’s one of the reasons why blog participation is so helpful and I am grateful for the feedback. It’s also a reason why we need to listen to our clients and learn from them.
