Jill Bolte Taylor, bestselling author of My Stroke of Insight, discusses her new book, Whole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters that Drive Our Life. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained neuroanatomist. In 1996 she experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain causing her to lose the ability to walk, talk, or recall any of her life. Her book, My Stroke of Insight, documenting her experience with stroke and eight-year recovery, spent 63 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Her TED talk has had over 26 million views, she has been a premiere guest on Oprah Winfrey's "Soul Series", and she has been named one of Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World”.
