内容説明
The astonishing New York Times bestseller that chronicles how a brain scientist's own stroke led to enlightenment
On December 10, 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven- year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist experienced a massive stroke in the left hemisphere of her brain. As she observed her mind deteriorate to the point that she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life-all within four hours-Taylor alternated between the euphoria of the intuitive and kinesthetic right brain, in which she felt a sense of complete well-being and peace, and the logical, sequential left brain, which recognized she was having a stroke and enabled her to seek help before she was completely lost. It would take her eight years to fully recover.
For Taylor, her stroke was a blessing and a revelation. It taught her that by "stepping to the right" of our left brains, we can uncover feelings of well-being that are often sidelined by "brain chatter." Reaching wide audiences through her talk at the Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED) conference and her appearance on Oprah's online Soul Series, Taylor provides a valuable recovery guide for those touched by brain injury and an inspiring testimony that inner peace is accessible to anyone.

Book Description
A brain scientist's journey from a debilitating stroke to full recovery becomes an inspiring exploration of human consciousness and its possibilities
On the morning of December 10, 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven-year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist, experienced a massive stroke when a blood vessel exploded in the left side of her brain. A neuroanatomist by profession, she observed her own mind completely deteriorate to the point that she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life, all within the space of four brief hours. As the damaged left side of her brain--the rational, grounded, detail- and time-oriented side--swung in and out of function, Taylor alternated between two distinct and opposite realties: the euphoric nirvana of the intuitive and kinesthetic right brain, in which she felt a sense of complete well-being and peace; and the logical, sequential left brain, which recognized Jill was having a stroke, and enabled her to seek help before she was lost completely.
In My Stroke of Insight, Taylor shares her unique perspective on the brain and its capacity for recovery, and the sense of omniscient understanding she gained from this unusual and inspiring voyage out of the abyss of a wounded brain. It would take eight years for Taylor to heal completely. Because of her knowledge of how the brain works, her respect for the cells composing her human form, and most of all an amazing mother, Taylor completely repaired her mind and recalibrated her understanding of the world according to the insights gained from her right brain that morning of December 10th.
Today Taylor is convinced that the stroke was the best thing that could have happened to her. It has taught her that the feeling of nirvana is never more than a mere thought away. By stepping to the right of our left brains, we can all uncover the feelings of well-being and peace that are so often sidelined by our own brain chatter. A fascinating journey into the mechanics of the human mind, My Stroke of Insight is both a valuable recovery guide for anyone touched by a brain injury, and an emotionally stirring testimony that deep internal peace truly is accessible to anyone, at any time. --このテキストは、絶版本またはこのタイトルには設定されていない版型に関連付けられています。

「右脳人間」、「左脳人間」など脳の機能についての話題には事欠かない現代ですが、本書は、脳科学の権威が脳卒中から奇跡的に生還し、８年に及ぶ治療期間に右脳と左脳の機能を実体験し、それを（快癒後に）わかりやすく正確に著述するという、他に類をみない闘病記・エッセイです。専門家による著述ですが、難解な専門用語は一切使われておらず、図による解説とも相まって、誰にも理解でき読み飽きない内容になっています。同病に苦しむ人のみならず、脳の機能に興味のある人、日々の生活の中に心の平安を求める読者には必読の良書です。

彼女は兄の統合失調症（分裂病）を理解するために、脳解剖学の道に進み、彼女の希望だったボストンのマックリーン病院の尊敬するフランシーヌ・M・ベネス博士（統合失調症の脳の検死解剖の世界的権威）の下で働くことが出来るようになりました。しかしベネス博士の研究室に隣接するハーバード脳バンクでは統合失調症脳の献体数が非常に少ないことに悩んでいたので、仕事の傍らせっせと全米NAMI会員に呼びかけるキャンペーン活動（講演後「脳バンクの歌」をギターを弾きながら歌う）を行い、献体数を増やしました。1996年彼女は統合失調症などの理解の基礎になる、脳細胞の免疫組織学的研究の重要な新発見を発表しました。その年の12月10日脳卒中が起こったのです。この体験記では彼女は脳卒中の最初から回復まで、自分の脳を客観的にみつめながら、右脳と左脳の働きの違い、心を作り上げている右脳マインドと左脳マインドの違いをはっきりと自覚した驚くべき発見を書いています。そして私たちがどう生きるべきかという命題にまで踏み込んでいるように思います。

TED.comで著者の講演を見て本書を購入しました。内容については他の方々のレビューに譲りますが、薄くて軽くて安価な文庫本 or ペーパーバックが欲しかったので原書にしました。英語も難しくないし（ときどき出てくる医学用語は辞書を引き引きでしたが）、翻訳の巧拙に気分を左右されないのが良いですね。彼女のスピーチは面白く感動的で、有難い事に日本語字幕が表示できます。本書と併せてご覧になれば、著者が言わんとしている事を理解するための一助になると思います。
