Our societies and education systems put more emphasis on the left brain rather than the right brain. We line up in rows, memorize info by rote.

Painting, singing, playing music and teaching those things to children are often downplayed.

Please check this site and watch the 18 minute video of passionate speaker neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor. After you've wiped away your tears, you will probably change your life.

Thanks Laticia. I really like the title of the book.
I read "My Stroke of Insight" in one sitting - I couldn't put it down. I laughed. I cried. It was a fantastic book (I heard it's a NYTimes Bestseller and I can see why!), but I also think it will be the start of a new, transformative Movement! No one wants to have a stroke as Jill Bolte Taylor did, but her experience can teach us all how to live better lives. Her TED.com speech was one of the most incredibly moving, stimulating, wonderful videos I've ever seen. Her Oprah Soul Series interviews were fascinating. They should make a movie of her life so everyone sees it. This is the Real Deal and gives me hope for humanity.
Thanks anon. Now I definitely have to read the book.
