Summary

The Gathering Pod welcomes neuroanatomist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor to talk about her new book, Whole Brain Living, which Martha describes as “brain science from a user’s perspective.” In 1996, Jill experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain causing her to lose the ability to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. Then she rebuilt it back to full function over the course of eight years, emerging with a truly transcendent worldview. (Originally aired: Jue 13, 2021)

0:00.0	Hello, the lovely peoples. This is Marty, Martha, inviting you to a free masterclass that I have made called
0:08.0	Five Paths to Your Purpose. Probably the most common question I get from people is, how do I find my purpose?
0:14.7	Why don't I feel that I'm on purpose? Well, it turns out there are certain things you have to do to find your purpose, and I broke
0:22.0	them down into five, and I made a little masterclass about it. So if you'd like to see it, just go to
0:28.3	marthabeck.com slash purpose, and you will be able to watch it without any charge at all.
0:50.5	Welcome to the Gathering Pod, the audio version of my weekly gathering room broadcast. I'm Martha Beck.
0:55.4	How are you, everyone? Welcome to the Gathering Room. I'm Martha Beck. If you don't know that,
0:59.8	I'm not, you must be in the wrong place. I'm not going to waste time talking about myself, because today we have the most magnificent special guest we could ever hope to have. Dr. Jill
1:06.5	Volta-Taylor may be familiar to you, partly because I talk about her all the time, partly because
1:12.4	her TED Talk is probably the most downloaded of all time. It discusses how as a Harvard
1:18.1	neuroanatomist at the age of 37, Jill had a massive left hemisphere stroke, which took out a lot
1:24.7	of her cognitive function for a number of years, but she rebuilt her brain.
1:29.3	I'll let her tell you how and came out of the experience with a really transcendent world view,
1:37.3	which I was just saying to her before we started, I believe that this world needs a transformation of human consciousness.
1:43.3	And Jill is one of the first people I'd ever seen who I thought, oh my good I believe that this world needs a transformation of human consciousness.
1:47.8	And Jill is one of the first people I'd ever seen who I thought,
1:50.3	oh my goodness, this is someone who's genuinely done it,
1:53.5	knows how it works because she's a brain scientist,
1:56.9	and can teach the rest of us from both an intellectual perspective and an emotional experiential one.
1:59.0	So I am so deeply honored to welcome Dr. Jill
2:03.8	Volte Taylor. How you doing? Hi. I'm so happy to be with you. I just, I'm so happy to be with you.
