It's an Inside Job
Learning the Whole Brain Approach to Leadership & Resilience: Interview with Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor - New York Times Best Selling Author & Neuroscientist
Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained and published neuroscientist. Her memoir, My Stroke of Insight, documenting her experience with stroke and eight-year recovery, spent 63 weeks on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list. In 2008 she gave the first TED talk to ever go viral and was chosen as one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World.
Dr. Jill is a dynamic teacher and public speaker who loves educating all age groups, academic levels, as well as corporations and not-for-profit organizations about the beauty of our human brain. She focuses on how we can activate the power of our neuroplasticity to not only recover from neurological trauma, but how we can purposely choose to live a more flexible, resilient, and satisfying life.
Her new book, Whole Brain Living – the Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life is a #1 release on Amazon in categories ranging from Neuroscience to Nervous System Diseases and Stroke.
In this episode, Dr. Taylor discusses the following questions and topics:
- Could you walk us through your experience of having a left-hemisphere stroke?
- What provocative insights did it uncover to you about the brain?
- What are two of the fundamental differences between our right and left brain hemispheres?
- Could you elaborate how the four parts of our brains process information differently?
- What are the Four Characters you speak about in Whole Brain Living?
- How can we get all four parts of our brain to work together in what you call the BRAIN Huddle?
- What is the reason having equal activation of our hemispheres is so important to building resilience?
