If you have an interest in neuroanatomy and want to gain a more comprehensive, nuanced understanding of how your neural circuitry impacts your life, please consider reading Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s book, Whole Brain Living. Being a Harvard-based neuroscientist and a survivor of a left hemisphere hemorrhagic stroke in her 30s, Taylor brings a unique perspective to the brain science behind our various “personalities.” She discusses and outlines the predictable Four Characters that are present in all brains (barring any physical damage/impairment).
For a comprehensive summary of the book, go here: https://www.sloww.co/whole-brain-living/
For an explanation of the Four Characters, go here: https://www.sloww.co/whole-brain-living/#whole-brain-living-four-characters
If it occurs to you to engage in this material, I am curious to know…
❓Who is your primary character?
❓Which character seems to be the most challenging one to inhabit?
Feel free to write me in the comments below.
Also, for the next four weeks, I will be publishing blog posts outlining my four characters if you have any interest. Stay tuned!
