This story recounts Harvard trained neuroscientist Jill Taylor’s debilitating stroke and subsequent recovery. She explains the science of the brain, what happened during her stroke, the experience of losing her left brain functionality, and the state of inner peace observed from the functioning right hemisphere. Her insights into the needs of stroke patients provide an invaluable tool for caregivers and families of stroke patients.
