Deep inner peace circuitry

Antonio Lopez

"Step to the right of the left brain hemisphere." So says neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor who talks about her stroke and how it taught her the brain's access point to inner peace. Among the many popular TED talks this year, Taylor's presentation is generating a lot of buzz because she explains in simple terms that you are already plugged into enlightenment through your right brain's perceptive capacity. If there is one thing you can do on the Internet to improve your life this year, take 18 minutes to watch this incredible lecture.

Book From My Stroke of Insight

I recommend Amazon as the place to get Jill Bolte Taylor's book MY STROKE OF INSIGHT because they have a wonderful interview with her on Amazon that offers new content I haven't seen anywhere else - that link is: http://www.amazon.com/My-Stroke-Insight-Scientists-Personal/dp/0670020745/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1211471755&sr=1-2 The book is an absolutely wonderful journey by a brain scientist who suffered a stroke. She recovered fully, back to teaching at Medical School no less (and she gives great tips on how and what to do to recover from a Stroke or help others recover). Dr Taylor also learned to fully be present in the part of the brain/mind where we experience full inner peace and Nirvana. SHe teaches that too, and that's why everyone should read this book. This story is as inspiring as The Last Lecture or Tuesdays with Morrie - and it has a Happy Ending!

"New York Times Bestseller" AND "My Stroke of Insight"

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.
