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 in the world 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. Since she uttered those words in 2008, she has received hundreds of thousands of emails from people asking for a specific set of directions on how they too can choose a peaceful mind-set. Whole Brain Living, Dr Jill's answer to that question and her response to those pleas for help, has been eagerly awaited for over a decade.

Drawing upon up-to-the-minute brain science as well as a wealth of lived experience, Dr Jill will show you how you can tap into the right here, right now of your right hemisphere to relieve stress and gain the inner peace Jill describes in her TED Talk. Your brain holds the key to choosing who and how you are in each moment.
