My Stroke of Insight – A Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey by Jill Bolte Taylor
My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor is an amazing look into how the brain works as seen by a scientist, who has a stroke. Bolte Taylor’s fight back from the stroke leads readers on a journey through what it takes to recover from a stroke but also gives incredible insight into how it all works. The fact that it is a personal journey makes the story that much more relevant. This is a great read and not as dry as you would think.
