Simultaneous to losing her ability to walk, talk, and remember the details of her life, she lived in the blissful state of peace and presence that we access in our right hemisphere. She chronicled her eight year recovery in her bestseller, My Stroke of Insight, and TED talk, which was the first ever to go viral. Soon after, she received over 300,000 letters asking the same pressing question: How can I find that deep inner peace? Her response is her game-changing new book, Whole Brain Living, which explains how intentionally linking the thinking and emotional parts of our brain - that she refers to as our Four Characters - gives us the agency to choose how we feel, think, behave, and live.

Dr.Bolte Taylor believes that “peace is just a thought away.” Her work illuminates the path there.
