Amazing Recovery from Stroke

This is the most amazing account of a person overcoming the severe effects of a stroke. Jill Bolte Taylor gives, in very graphic detail, her experience of a left-brain stroke. She gives the reader the ability to understand the different types of stroke and how they affect the stroke patient. This will be a classic!

My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey

This book was very good at explaining the authors experience in having and recovering from a stroke. Her insights were useful in helping me understand my own thinking, particularly with respect to spiritual experiences I have had. My childhood friend is currently in the hospital with a stroke, and I think this book may be useful to his daughter as he recovers.

A Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey

I read this book immediately after my father's stroke. I had a much better understanding of his situation and I learned how to react. The book has the right level of technical information. The book has been very helpful to my family.

Insightful!

As a pastor, I felt particularly drawn to this book after hearing an author interview on the radio. Everyone seems to know someone who has experienced having a stroke and ministering and caring for them is sometimes puzzling to all. This book gave some wonderful "insights" about the actual experience from inside when a stroke is occuring as well as helpful suggestions for those that come into contact with them - whether it be family or medical situations. Members of my congregation appreciated the suggestions presented in the book; several also intend to read it.

Not as good as I'd hoped

This story is amazing, and it was interesting to read about her experiences in both halves of her brain, but she didn't spend as much time talking about the right brained "nirvana" state as I had hoped. This book would be good for someone who had a friend or relative who recently experienced a stroke or brain injury as she details her rehab & how it felt to relearn normal daily functions.
