The Dichotomy of the Brain

Posted on | May 24, 2009 | No Comments

Logical vs creative was what I was always taught as the difference between left and right brain. Not terribly accurate. Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuro anatomist, had a massive stroke in her left brain one morning and ended up living in her right brain for the most part of her 8 year recovery. She emerged as a kind of scientific buddha.

We read and analyze, break down and build back up everything around us. Fuck that…”feel at one with all that energy that is”, embrace your consciousness.

Dr. Taylor gives an extremely entertaining and enlightening talk at a TED conference, but has also written a book, My Stroke of Insight, that just came out in paperback.
