Book Reviews of My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey
Book Review: A Beautiful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so glad I found this book. For those who have had a stroke and those
that are not aware now they might have one in the future, there is no end
to the value of this book. It is absolutely chilling what the author had
to go through and her absolute determination she is going to get well.
I found that one doesnt have to start at the first and go straight through
the book; you can pick it up at any time and and be awestruck.
I noticed when she talked about right mind vs left mind. I am very old and
learned a long time ago that you can make your brain do what you want it
to do. It is very difficult but you can get rid of negativity; something
most people fight every day of their life. Thank you Dr. Taylor; you are
indeed a beautiful person.
