Wow! Those of you who have known me for a long time, know how much I'm interested in how our brains work. My wife was sent this link from a friend and she sent it to me to watch. It's a compelling 19 minutes long. This is a truly amazing story and an idea worth spreading.
Right Brain People Rejoice and be Happy! Left Brain People....move to the Right.
That was a compelling 19 minutes, thanks for sharing this, especially important to think about on this Easter season and all through the year. She is someone it would be great to spend any evening with finding out who we are in this world. Happy Easter. Terry

No kidding Terry. If we could all suspend our left brains at will... how would the world be a happier place. I perceive myself as an extremely happy person. I've often thought that I was "just lucky" to be so happy. However, learning that "living in your right brain" leads to that euphoria, makes it all the more fun to be an artist. Happy Easter to you too!

How appropriate to see a video about someone's personal awakening on Easter morning. It also explains why my wonderful hubby is so unhappy in his corporate "stuck in a cube" job. Thank you so much for sharing!

I’ve been recommending “My Stroke of Insight” to everyone I know. It’s the best book I’ve read all year! You can get Jill's book from Amazon for a good discount.
Here's the link:

I read "My Stroke of Insight" in one sitting - I couldn't put it down. I laughed. I cried. It was a fantastic book (I heard it's a NYTimes Bestseller and I can see why!), but I also think it will be the start of a new, transformative Movement! No one wants to have a stroke as Jill Bolte Taylor did, but her experience can teach us all how to live better lives. Her TED.com speech was one of the most incredibly moving, stimulating, wonderful videos I've ever seen. Her Oprah Soul Series interviews were fascinating. They should make a movie of her life so everyone sees it. This is the Real Deal and gives me hope for humanity.

The New York Times Sunday Newspaper on May 25 had a great two page article on Jill Bolte Taylor and her book, "MY STROKE OF INSIGHT". Her book is a must read and this NY Times article - called "A Superhighway to bliss" is worth checking out too.
