This online book study course provides neuroscience research and Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s lived experience of developing her method for “Whole Brain Living.” During this book study and professional development course, this course will share with you Dr. Jill’s story of having a stroke that took her Left Hemisphere offline and how through this experience and her full recovery as a stroke survivor and a neuroscientist she identifies that the half-century belief that we have a right emotional brain that houses our creativity and left thinking brain that houses our rational thinking is a myth. Neuroscience now shows that we have four distinct modules of cells that Dr. Jill calls “Characters”.
Course Objectives

• Develop an awareness that the brain has four distinct modules of cells that Dr. Jill presents as the Four Characters of the brain.
• Understand the Four Characters that make up the brain and the personal and professional use of each of these characters.
• Begin to identify these characters within yourself and others.
