There are some fabulous TED talks but this one from Jill Bolte Taylor describing her experience of having a stroke in the left side of her brain is not only incredibly moving but might change the way you’ll think about your brain, your mind and even the nature of reality.
It is a great confirmation of Ian McGilchrist‘s work on how the left and right side of the brain can be shown to have unique and very different ways of approaching and engaging with the world. She also uses language entirely consistent with the work of Dan Seigel’s Interpersonal Neurobiology approach.
I urge you. Take a few minutes and watch this video. It’s an amazing story.
