Our brains are cool! Are you curious to understand how your brain can better impact the quality of your life? If so, join us for an interactive learning experience that offers insights into and access to the wisdom found in the critically acclaimed book by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, “Whole Brain Living, The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life.” Taylor is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist whose research specializes in understanding how our brain creates our perception of reality. The material is based on her eight-year recovery from a stroke that resulted in her memoir, “My Stroke of Insight” which spent 63 weeks on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list.
Whole Brain Living blends neuroanatomy and psychology to illustrate how we can overcome emotional reactivity to lead more fulfilling and peaceful lives and create healthier relationships.
Through lecture, discussion, mindful exercises and opportunities to playfully engage with the material from Dr. Taylor’s books, participants learn new ways to understand their own behavior, and gain insights into ways they can better navigate relationships.
