Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD, is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist whose research specialized in understanding how our brain creates our perception of reality. At the age of 37, she experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain. From this rare form of stroke (AVM), she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. It took eight years for her to completely rebuild her brain to recover all physical, emotional, and thinking abilities. In 2008, Jill gave a presentation about her experience with her stroke at the TED Conference in Monterey, CA, which was the first TED talk to ever go viral through the internet. She has been an active member of NAMI (the National Alliance on Mental Illness) and is the National Spokesperson for the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center. Jill is author of the My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey and Whole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters that Drive Our Life. Her website is drjilltaylor.com.

Jill shares her profound experience with a rare stroke that shut down the left hemisphere of her brain that altered her perception of self and gave her a sense of peaceful euphoria and oneness with the universe. She describes the intricacies of the two brain hemispheres, emotions, and creativity, including the four characters of ourselves. She explores the nature of consciousness and emphasizes how understanding these four characters can lead to greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a better relationship with ourselves and others. She suggests that our primary consciousness, and who we are, is love.
