Jill is a brain scientist with quite the catalog of credentials, who at 37 years old suffered a massive stroke. She describes in detail the events during and after the incident, peaking my interest in how these old brains actually do work (she speaks of almost mystical experiences while her brain healed - and it did). I then went on to read "A Whole New Mind" by Daniel Pink. BINGO. This is the material I was dreaming about - how to utilize the right hemisphere in a satisfying and practical (read profitable) fashion, and in daily life (I'm an artist at heart). This is one I'd wager you will like. Now I'm inching my way through "How the Brain Changes Itself," by Norman Doidge, also an MD (Pink is not) - personal stories bearing out the brain's plasticity. So much to learn. Forward, March! Let's chat about this. R.
