Bloomington’s Jill Bolte Taylor is a veritable brain whisperer. The Harvard-trained neuroanatomist survived a stroke, painstakingly recovered her brain function, and shared the experience via her 2008
New York Times bestseller,
My Stroke of Insight. A popular TED Talk soon followed.
“I end that talk by saying, ‘We have the power to choose, moment by moment, who and how we want to be in the world. And we have more power over what’s going on inside of our brains than anybody has ever given us credit for,’” Taylor recalls.
