Brain Doctor has stroke and lives to tell.

I bought the book about a month ago, but confess I have not yet read it, after watching this, it just moved up my "to read" list!

From Denny Coates' blog:
http://www.buildingpersonalstrength.com/2009/12/jill-bolte-taylors-stroke-of-insight.html:

"I urge you to listen to Dr. Taylor's personal account of what it feels like to have a stroke,. Because she's a brain scientist, you'll probably never again hear a story quite like hers. Her presentation was for TED, which shares videos of enlightening speakers online, so the talk lasts about 20 minutes. If you take the time to watch it all the way through, you'll be glad you did."
