The book by Jill Bolte Taylor, which discusses whole brain living, was mentioned by Andrew Huberman. She is a neuroanatomist who had a stroke in the left hemisphere of the brain, and she experienced the right hemisphere's functions and how the world appeared as a fluid.
And one of my good friends is Jill Bolte Taylor, who had, she was a Harvard neuroanatomist,
And so she suddenly, she watched her left hemisphere go off.
She had a brain bleed, and it would pulse.
So her left hemisphere would be there, and she'd see everything as solid and measurable and verbal,
and then it would go off.
And she was in a world where she was like a fluid the size of the universe.
And she would watch, she was in the shower, and she watched her hand on the tiles dissolve into fields of energy.
And you were talking about energy earlier.
She said by the time her left hemisphere had shut down completely, she managed to get a phone call made.
She couldn't talk by the time that phone call went through.
She got to a hospital, took her eight years to come back to full functioning.
But she said during that time, I did not know people's names.
I didn't know the word person, but boy, could I feel people's energy.
And as she healed, she didn't bother to get rid of her ability to feel people's energy.
So she's a great fan of using the whole brain.
Whole Brain Living is her latest book, and it's great.
