Discover how to tap into the present moment, shift out of anxiety and gain a sense of deep inner peace by understanding the brain's two hemispheres. At age 37, Harvard neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor suffered a massive left-hemisphere stroke that took away her ability to speak, walk, read, write or remember any of her life - and gave her an unprecedented, profound experience of dwelling in the right hemisphere and the sense of oneness and peace to be found there. Her recovery led to her writing the New York Times bestseller 'My Stroke of Insight', being named one of Time Magazine's Most Influential People and delivering one of the top talks of all time at the world-renowned TED conference. Dr Jill closed her famous TED talk by stating that we have the power to choose, moment by moment, who and how we want to be in the world.
