Dr. Tara Perry sits down with Harvard-trained neuroanatomist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor — whose viral TED talk after her own stroke reframed how millions understand the brain — to unpack the four-character framework of Whole Brain Living and why most of what you 'feel' is not what you think it is.
Show notes
In this episode of the Next Level Healing Podcast, Dr. Tara Perry interviews Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist and NYT bestselling author, whose research specializes in understanding how our brain creates our perception of reality.
In 2008, Dr. Jill gave a presentation about her experience with a stroke at the TED Conference in Monterey, CA, which was the first TED talk to ever go viral on the internet. TED and Dr. Jill became world-famous instantaneously, and that TED talk has now been viewed well over 30 million times.
