The astonishing New York Times bestseller that chronicles how a brain scientist's own stroke led to enlightenment
On December 10, 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven- year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist experienced a massive stroke in the left hemisphere of her brain. As she observed her mind deteriorate to the point that she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life-all within four hours-Taylor alternated between the euphoria of the intuitive and kinesthetic right brain, in which she felt a sense of complete well-being and peace, and the logical, sequential left brain, which recognized she was having a stroke and enabled her to seek help before she was completely lost. It would take her eight years to fully recover.
For Taylor, her stroke was a blessing and a revelation. It taught her that by "stepping to the right" of our left brains, we can uncover feelings of well-being that are often sidelined by "brain chatter." Reaching wide audiences through her talk at the Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED) conference and her appearance on Oprah's online Soul Series , Taylor provides a valuable recovery guide for those touched by brain injury and an inspiring testimony that inner peace is accessible to anyone.

读后感
许多人终其一生寻道打坐才能得到的人生顿悟，作者通过一场中风便悟到了。 说起来，重复的道路只有重复的风景。一成不变的生活只有被意外打断的时候才给我们反省的机会。 身为神经解剖学家的作者花了两章的篇幅来解释大脑的构造和功能。她完整地记录下左脑逐渐失去运作，右脑...
评分我几乎是一口气读完了这本书。这是一本奇书。是一个另类的生死书或者濒死记录。一般来说，经历过生死的人，回复到现实生活后，都会产生宗教情感。作者虽是一个脑科学家，她也相信她是“开悟”了。 作为一个佛教徒，很自然的会把书中的一些描述与佛教修证联系起来。 比如“我”...
评分 评分作者是位脑科学家，在哈佛脑研所做研究，对人脑及人的精神世界的兴趣，缘起于她患精神病的兄弟。作者在九六年的某个早上突患脑溢血，之前一直任全美精神病患者家属协会的会长，在精神病患者的权益保护以及为脑科学研究捐脑方面，贡献良多。患病时，作者三十七岁。病发的几个小...
评分一个西方脑科学家在中风的过程中感受到了类似涅槃、三摩地等状态下的平和和喜悦，这种平和和喜悦在我们的右脑中产生。我们平时可以通过关注不同的感官，譬如嗅觉、味觉、听觉、视觉等来让我们产生平和和喜悦，关注自己的情绪，瑜伽、太极等运动也是不错的方式。

评分神经科学家叙述自己中风及痊愈的经历，视角很独特，就好比比尔盖茨写“我的视窗系统崩溃”。文笔就不是很强，不知是能力问题呢，还是因为中风导致大脑语言区域受损？
