Summary: Enlightening
Comment: After hearing about this book from someone, I really felt to get it. It did not disappoint. This woman had an incredible journey that changed her life forever. I could identify with so many different aspects of her process, I really enjoyed it. I was amazed how much I could identify with her about, even though recently I had just had a fractured arm, nothing like her experience, but, many things changed anyway. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Summary: Review of "My stroke of Insight" by Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD
Comment: I enjoyed this book tremendously. I saw the author, Jill Bole Taylor, interviewed on Oprah prior to ordering the book, and was intrigued by her story. There were a lot of technical references and maybe a little too indepth description of how the neurons connct with each other, etc......, however the life changing information I took from this book, (understanding the effects of positive/negative energy on the patient, knowing I can personally control my thought processes without going through a brain trauma, and the correct approach to someone who has had trauma to their brain)is something I will use for life. It's definitely a good read for anyone but especially someone who has a dependent relative and/or close friend. I believe the book speaks for those who are either temporarily or permanently unable to speak for themselves.

Summary: My Stroke of Insight - adds insight into stroke patients minds.
Comment: Reading My Stroke of Insight gave me incredible insight into what it must be like to be in the mind of a stroke patient. I wish I would have known about this book while my dad was still alive. He suffered through several strokes and died in July. It gave one a new perspective on what a stroke patient is going through, which would help a love one and caregiver provide empathy for the patient. The end of the book makes you realize that we humans spend way too much time on things that do not matter and we miss out on a lot of living because of the time spent on such insignifiant events.

Summary: Sometimes repetative, but worthwhile....
Comment: My husband is at risk for a stroke sometime within his life time (already had a very minor one), and so I read this book seeking the detailed information promised by a scientist. The best information was to be patient, look the patient in the eyes, speak quietly and slowly over and over if necessary, stay positive and detail oriented, and develop daily plans.
Good information, but sometimes too much repeat information. I also wished that the author had used less contrast description when talking about her first day and week after the stroke. The message about her state of being and her "lost" abilities got lost in the words about what she "should" have been able to do.
One of many books.
