Having just had a TIA,I wanted a quick and concise breakdown of all the effects of a stroke and the prognosis for recovery. The author is not only a brain scientist who suffered a major stroke but she's also a good writer. She really puts the facts and the emotional content in easy to read form .Highly recommended.

This book is very easy to read and has a lot of content regarding stroke. I recently had one and I am only about a month into recovery mode. I am hoping to get back some of my peripheral vision, but it is a real slog as I mode forward slowly. Mine was not nearly as bad as hers, but we all have to struggle to regain functioning.

I would highly recommend this book as being very informative for anyone who has had or knows someone close to them who has had a stroke or some type of brain trauma, really helped me understand what I was going thru and that it was in fact normal and part of the healing process and I wasn't alone. It was very well written in easy to understand language.
This book was recommended to me by a colleague. I bought the book to read to a friend who suffered a stroke. Each week when I went, I read her a chapter. Dr. Bolte Taylor is such an amazing storyteller, even her account of her stroke experience has you totally engaged. My Stroke of Insight has motivated my friend beyond anything I could have imagined. Her healing since watching Jill's Ted Talk and listening to the book has been remarkable.
