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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eSoul Series\u003c\/i\u003e, Taylor provides a valuable recovery guide for those touched by brain injury and an inspiring testimony that inner peace is accessible to anyone.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJill Bolte Taylor is a neuroanatomist who teaches at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Bloomington, Indiana.
