New Year, New You

Are you curious how understanding your brain can better impact the quality of your life? If so, join us for this a 3-week session of interactive learning that will offer insights and access to the wisdom found in Whole Brain Living, The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor.

In Whole Brain Living, The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life, Dr. Bolte Taylor chronicles the experience of her rare stroke at the age of 37 where she lost her ability to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her past. It took eight years for her to rebuild her brain — to recover all physical, emotional, and thinking abilities. She blends neuroanatomy with psychology to illustrate how we can short-circuit emotional reactivity to lead more fulfilling and peaceful lives and create healthier relationships. She introduces readers to the four characters of the brain that make up who we are and presents a new framework to understand our behaviors, feelings, and emotions.

Participants are requested to read Whole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and The Four Characters That Drive Our Life before the first session.

Dr. Bolte Taylor is an author, speaker, and Harvard-trained neuroanatomist. With views of over 27 million on her 2013 Ted Talk and her first book, My Stroke of Insight, A Brain Scientists Journey, being a best seller, Dr. Bolte Taylor is making strides in the public world. Excitingly, Dr. Bolte Taylor is scheduled to make a virtual appearance during one of our sessions.
