Jill Bolte Taylor is an American neuroanatomist and author whose work centers on brain function, stroke recovery, neuroplasticity, and consciousness.

Биография и Путь Автора

Jill Bolte Taylor is an American neuroanatomist whose career grew out of an intensely personal question. Raised in Indiana, she has said that her brother’s eventual diagnosis of schizophrenia first drew her toward the study of the brain and toward the larger problem of what people call “normal” perception. That curiosity led her into advanced study in Indiana and then into postdoctoral research in Harvard’s Department of Psychiatry, where she pursued the question of how the brain creates a sense of reality. From the start, her path joined rigorous anatomy with a deeply human interest in consciousness, illness, and the fragile mechanics of identity. ((https://drjilltaylor.com/about/))

The 90-second rule gives you true power. By knowing the brain and how it works - and how it triggers you to feel anxious - you can not only reduce anxiety in the moment but also reprogram your brain at the cellular level to experience less anxiety overall
-The 90-Second Reset
quote
Pain is a tool. Sometimes when we find ourselves in the deepest darkness of our despair, we need to surrender to it and dive into its depths. When we understand that pain is an invitation for growth, we can choose to reflect upon it, nurture ourselves through it, and actually heal it. It is so important that we keep in mind that our deep emotional pain is designed to be a lesson – not a lifestyle
-Dr. Jill's 4 Characters
quote
The more time we spend running our deep inner peace circuitry, the more peace we project into the world and the more peaceful our planet becomes
