Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor

It's yummy.

I mean, it's like, how can I not?

But I love to paddleboard.

I live half of a life, half my time on a boat out in a beautiful cove, pretty much in isolation with the bear and the deer and the fish and the bobcat.

I live in nature.

I live the life I want to live.

And then I get off the boat and I come and visit people.

And we talk or I go and I do whatever it is I'm doing.

Oh, I'd be probably a professor of neuroanatomy at Harvard Medical School, teaching and performing research, doing that thing.

That was my dream.

Oh, no.

I'm so glad I had that stroke.

I am so glad I had the stroke.

It set me free.

It set me free.

Having the stroke set me free from having to live a life based on other people's expectations about what my life should be.

Because that went totally offline and it wasn't going to be a choice anymore.

No.

Think about the brain and think about your consciousness and think about you have four parts of you and all four parts are always running and they're kind of vying for the microphone.

Who's going to talk in this moment, right?
