Whole Brain Living

The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life

Book • 2021

Jill Bolte Taylor

In "Whole Brain Living," Jill Bolte Taylor expands on her previous work by introducing a framework for understanding the four distinct characters within the brain.

She explains how these characters—two from the left hemisphere and two from the right—influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Taylor provides practical strategies for integrating these characters to achieve greater self-awareness and emotional regulation.

The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the brain's structure to improve mental well-being.

It offers a unique blend of neuroscience and self-help, empowering readers to take control of their mental and emotional states.
