COMMENTS: Kevin Tibbles’ Book Club
My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor received generous free publicity from NBC's Kevin Tibbles. Tibbles was clearly taken with the memoir by a brain researcher who happened to suffer a stroke herself twelve years ago: "My first thought was Oh my gosh! I am having a stroke and then the next thought was Wow! This is so cool." The stroke damaged the analytic functions of her left brain, wiping out her ability to speak, to read, to write, to walk, to recognize faces. What remained was the consciousness afforded by the right brain: "I was in absolute tranquility. It was so peaceful."
