Remember the TED talk that went viral, “My Stroke of Insight,” which was based on Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s book of the same name? Neuroanatomist and Brain Researcher Jill Bolte Taylor studied her stroke as it happened and has become a powerful voice for how we can choose to replace our stress, fear and anxiety with feelings of joy and deep inner peace. She didn’t stop there.

After 7+ years of recovery, she returned with more research, knowledge and insights, all packed into her latest book, Whole Brain Living. In it, she blends neuroanatomy with psychology to show how we can short-circuit emotional reactivity and find peace. For half a century, we have been taught to believe that our right hemisphere is our emotional brain, while our left hemisphere houses our rational thinking. In this riveting conversation, she describes how these four distinct groups of cells underlie four distinctive and universal Characteristics that we each have: Character 1—left Thinking; Character 2—left Emotion; Character 3—right Emotion; and Character 4—right Thinking.
