ABOUT DR. JILL BOLTE TAYLOR Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained and published neuroscientist who, in 1996, experienced a severe hemorrhage in her brain causing her to lose the ability to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. She released a memoir called “My Stroke of Insight”, documenting her experience of having the stroke and eight-year recovery—it spent 63 weeks on the NYT bestseller list and is still routinely the #1 book about strokes on Amazon. In 2008, Jill gave the first TED Talk that ever went viral, which now has over 26 million views. She was chosen as one of Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World” and was the premiere guest on Oprah Winfrey’s “Soul Series” webcast.
