My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD is the riveting account of a Harvard-trained brain scientist’s massive stroke at the age of 37. This stroke, caused by a ruptured blood vessel, affected the entire left side of her brain, temporarily removing the ability to differentiate between herself and others and leaving her in a stroke-induced Nirvana. It took her eight years to recover. An absolutely fascinating and inspiring book that sheds new light on what it means to be human.
