“Oh my gosh, I’m having a stroke! I’m having a stroke! And in the next instant, the thought flashed through my mind, Wow, this is so cool!”
As a neuroanatomist, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor was put in the unenviable position of being able to study the mind—and its deterioration—firsthand when she suffered a massive stroke one morning. Over a few hours, she watched her own mind systematically shut down, leaving her unable to function...yet strangely blissful.
Here, she discusses her stroke and recovery, explains why the event brought about powerful feelings of inner peace, and reveals how anyone can replicate this feeling. The result is a fascinating look at the human mind that reveals that nirvana is never more than a thought away.
