Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor - Owing Her Power
Monday, May 5th, 2008“The unexamined life is not worth living” ~ Socrates
I love this quote. I let out a Whoo hoo and Rebel Belle Yell! when I came across it while reading “My Stroke of Insight”, one of my most recent “Best Books Ever”.
It’s an inspiring, empowering and revealing personal account of brain scientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s experience and recovery from her stroke. Folks it’s brilliant!
OWN YOUR POWER - Excerpt from Chapter 17
“I spend a whole lot of time thinking about thinking just because I find my brain so fascinating. (OMG! Me too, I love this.) There has been nothing more empowering than the realization that I don’t have to think thoughts that bring me pain. There is nothing wrong with thinking about things that bring me pain, as long as I am aware that I am choosing to engage in that emotional circuitry.”
