All excellent stuff. I particularly liked the statement "we are not thinking creatures who feel; we are feeling creatures who think". I will definitely apply this to my own work. Martyn Richards.
11 years ago, this video was shared. I was 23 years old then, and it would have been a joy to watch. However, around that time, I began exploring human behavior and developed a fascination with it. I came across someone who narrated Dr Jill story about her stroke, which sparked my curiosity and planted seeds of interest in me. I'm glad to have come across this video now. The seeds planted back then are flourishing, and I know we are the change she spoke of, creating a new world together.
I feel comfort from this since I am a teenager who is going through these stages. I feel a bit more guided rather than roaming around for no reason. I am setting myself up for my adult years and it feels great just knowing all these problems that occur inside me as I develop. It organizes my problems into a set of lists that I can try to solve. Thanks Jill for the insight. (:
Thank God! for the Jill Bolte Taylors of the World! and TEDx for providing the platform for which they can share their impassioned experiences and knowledge!
To understand that we sentient mortals are feeling, thinking beings is central to our well being as humans, how we relate to others and what we value. Thank you Jill Bolte Taylor for helping me in my efforts to understand.
It’s been a huge inspiration for us as we build our program. The insights into teenage brain development have really helped us understand the importance of creating a supportive environment for young people. We’re grateful for the guidance as we forge our path forward🙏✨
And this video was uploaded in 2013, omg, how i would like know back then what i know today. This video is just brilliant and connects with everything what i have been learning a changing myself in the last year.
Love this.. first one was better for my interests but everything you say intrigues me. Thank you for choosing to dedicate yourself to sharing your knowledge with the world, it has helped me tremendously and I'm sure I'm not alone.
Thank you for making so much sense of the chaos we will know as the teenage years. I teach high school, this is a must watch for all my incoming freshman.
Gracias Dra Jill por tu hermosa y brillante manera de explicar la maravilla de nuestro cerebro y los retos de los "invomprendidos" adolescentes y por pedirles a los padres y diría yo a toda la comunidad en general que los cuidemos hasta los 25 años!!!!
wish this talk had been around when I was a teenager in the midst of growing up....Could have saved me about a decade of all types of horrible things :(
"I am reminded that we are neurocircuitry," says Jill very early on here. Earlier, in her 2008 TED talk, Jill asks, "So, who are we?" She answers, "We are the life-force power of the universe, with manual dexterity and two cognitive minds." Are we Life, itself, or ("the") Consciousness, itself? Are we Being, the "I Am?" Or are we just humans, just our brains? Or could it be that are we Life/Consciousness temporarily expressing itself in human form? Could it be that we are human beings? And could it be that we are now, in part thanks to the insights of people like Jill and like Eckhart Tolle, in transition? Namaste! Tom Kelly.
Is the lack of synapse pruning in autism the reason we are typically more socially conscious (even though we are often shunned) and do not lose the joy of learning? I'm sure it's why our amygdala is more overwhelmed/sensitive.
Lewis Almeida, I agree with you. My guess, neuroscientists know about the differences between the left and right hemispheres but their every attempt is predisposed to be a left brain approach.
An absolute masterpiece. Very insightful and powerful as every educational material from her ever is. One day I will be fortunate enough to meet you, and display my Jill Bolte Taylor quote inspired tattoo.
_Body is like a tv the mind is the signal. Even if the TV breaks, the signal remains. It's a lot more difficult to study however lol. That's why you need to talk to aliens lol. Read the Ra Material ; )_
Awesome! it explains the espiritual hallucinations that man people has! The thing is: she had this hallucinations consciously about what was happening! that was the awesome thing about her experience!
WOW . . . I love this one, dear Dr. Jill. B. Tailor !!!!!! . . . Gonna post it on facebook and hopefully expect, that some people will understand it and and feel and think about it. ;-) . . . . and share it. Had been reading your book about the stroke two times and gave it away several times. Would love to have a german translation to this speech !
"We are feeling creatures who think." Great. However, this talk does not take into account personality types nor child abuse. Some abuse can be very subtle but with grave consequences. If a child never learns how to trust because the people who brought them into this world were abusive through hitting or verbal abuse or neglect then how does that fit into this "robotic" framework? Sometimes the anger does last past 90 seconds for a very good reason & this needs to be addressed in our society.
Congrats! :-) You've taken the first baby-step to understanding what she was going on about. Do you now understand why her presentation manifests as being 'hectic' (to you?). I wish you well :-)
Amazing how wonderfully and beautifully we were created. An explosion of meteros as the evolution theory proposes couldn’t have done that. There is purpose and meaning in this science. God is the creator of this beautiful brain because only in Him we find true meaning to who we are and true purpose to why we were created. Thnk U Dr Taylor for this work !
Our God is amazing since He has created this wonderful organ called BRAIN. The faith has an explanation in the natural world. The power of the mind that can be reflected in our will and in our actions. That's amazing
Dear friends, does anyone know how to contact Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor? I want to write email her or become Facebook friend with her, she made me cried many times, she is my "mum".
Jill says that other's can't affect you without your permission, but I don't think that's true because responding to other people is so innate in us. It's apart of being a social creature. It's interesting how in her original ted talk (which I loved) she said she was the life force energy of the universe, and now she's parred that down to "you are neurology".
If you are very mindful, you can permit or reject an influence. Our responses are not as innate as we think. Different type of audience may change how she addresses the issue, but I don't think there's a big difference as our body reflects how the universe works (energy and body organs' functions), and yes, neurology is part of us.
i cant relate i should be growing but im no bigger then a 11yr i should didn't disconnect from friends or find many new interest its always been code, game, science and history since i was baby boy, idk why am i not becoming more independent i am just better at thinking
Eu sou assim minha vida toda.. não tenho dificuldade para controlar meus medos.. na verdade tenho medo de praticamente nada.. ah eu tenho medo de morrer e não conhecer meus netos só isso
After 40+ years of Spinoza's works and integrating his ideas I find that the authority of clarity can be obtained with real inner work. Unfortunately, when one has an unusual experienced such as Dr. Jill, she tries to explain it through limited scientific theories and feelings. Science sees only what is in front of his or her lenses. The larger understanding must come from our intuition; unfortunately, it's not understood nor practice seriously. Again, take a look and examine Spinoza's Ethics

and I am now 23 years old and watched her video for the first time ,I am glad that unconsciously that I have planted good seeds in my teenage years.
Она подарила знания всему человечеству и приоткрыла завесу тайны.

Thank *you* :-)
@nobody2478 how is life now?
I've watched the previous Ted talk about your stroke. Your speech makes me understand my teenage daughter well. Thank you so much.
Thank God! for the Jill Bolte Taylors of the World! and TEDx for providing the platform for which they can share their impassioned experiences and knowledge!
She’s so passionate, love her! Let’s use our brains 🧠 let’s use our power! 💪
To understand that we sentient mortals are feeling, thinking beings is central to our well being as humans, how we relate to others and what we value. Thank you Jill Bolte Taylor for helping me in my efforts to understand.
My favorite of her speech ' *My stroke of insight* '
It’s been a huge inspiration for us as we build our program. The insights into teenage brain development have really helped us understand the importance of creating a supportive environment for young people. We’re grateful for the guidance as we forge our path forward🙏✨
Mientras más la escucho, más la amo. La he visto más de 5 veces a la charla y cada vez aprendo algo nuevo. Gracias!
What an amazing blend of emotion and information. It personified exactly what the brain is - a powerful blend of both.
And this video was uploaded in 2013, omg, how i would like know back then what i know today. This video is just brilliant and connects with everything what i have been learning a changing myself in the last year.
God bless this doc. She's the most!!
Love this.. first one was better for my interests but everything you say intrigues me. Thank you for choosing to dedicate yourself to sharing your knowledge with the world, it has helped me tremendously and I'm sure I'm not alone.
Jamie, may I remind you that are always alone, and also that you are not alone simultaneously?
I love the way Dr. Jill shares her ideas! She's an amazing lecturer!
LOVE HER!! SO glass is half full, and with genuineness and love
Thank you for making so much sense of the chaos we will know as the teenage years. I teach high school, this is a must watch for all my incoming freshman.
so cool!!!
The first sentence was "I brought a human brain"
I love it
excellent summary of the functional connect between specific areas of the developing brain and emotional changes over the teenage years.
Gracias Dra Jill por tu hermosa y brillante manera de explicar la maravilla de nuestro cerebro y los retos de los "invomprendidos" adolescentes y por pedirles a los padres y diría yo a toda la comunidad en general que los cuidemos hasta los 25 años!!!!
Extraordinary!!! You are a rock star Dr Jill! With a world rockin’ story to tell. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Grateful beyond measure ❤
Love this woman, been listening to her videos all day. Thanks for the upload. :-)
wish this talk had been around when I was a teenager in the midst of growing up....Could have saved me about a decade of all types of horrible things :(
Excelent! Brilliant professional and courageous lady.
She is awesome
This is wonderful. Thanks for inspiring.
She needs a speech coach. This is UNBEARABLE
Awesome explanation! Jill Bolte Taylor is so captivating and smart! Her book My Stroke of Insight is a must read! :-)
Here because of Talk like Ted. Very great speaker.
Very insightful. Especially for a parent.
First time watching this!!! she's incredible.
Thank you! What a gift you have!!
Amazing woman!! It all makes so much sense now. ❤

Thanks for the (relatively concise) summary :-)
Me sinto muito orgulhosa por ter vencido.. sou Maluca não tenho medo e nem vergonha
Is the lack of synapse pruning in autism the reason we are typically more socially conscious (even though we are often shunned) and do not lose the joy of learning? I'm sure it's why our amygdala is more overwhelmed/sensitive.
She's brilliant.
I love this precious soul
Brilliant. Thank you Jill!
THANK YOU. You need a 30 minute TV show directed to teenagers.
Her voice!
Kill me!
?????
and she's so poetic! :')
i get ya...sigh
Lewis Almeida, I agree with you. My guess, neuroscientists know about the differences between the left and right hemispheres but their every attempt is predisposed to be a left brain approach.
POWERFUL BEAUTIFUL PERFECTION OF HUMAN KIND!
amazing lady, thank you
She is amazing!
This was in Indianapolis?! I've always wanted to go to one of these?!
"WOW"
This is a great video...
Good speach... The human brain is only as good as the conceiance that weilds it.
Beyond brilliant
An absolute masterpiece. Very insightful and powerful as every educational material from her ever is. One day I will be fortunate enough to meet you, and display my Jill Bolte Taylor quote inspired tattoo.
what tattoo did you get of hers
Amazing phd....he is just like professor Robert sapolsky...marvelous doctor
The "I" isn't physical, think of your body like a car, we use it to get around the physical world.
EXACTLY!
_Body is like a tv the mind is the signal. Even if the TV breaks, the signal remains. It's a lot more difficult to study however lol. That's why you need to talk to aliens lol. Read the Ra Material ; )_
Just WOOOW!
Awesome! it explains the espiritual hallucinations that man people has! The thing is: she had this hallucinations consciously about what was happening! that was the awesome thing about her experience!
I LOVED HER!
Interesting but debatable. Do you choose your next thought or does the next thought simply come to you?
Do you choose your preferences?
Love this woman
WOW . . . I love this one, dear Dr. Jill. B. Tailor !!!!!! . . . Gonna post it on facebook and hopefully expect, that some people will understand it and and feel and think about it. ;-) . . . . and share it.
Had been reading your book about the stroke two times and gave it away several times.
Would love to have a german translation to this speech !
How has posting it on facebook turned out? Did you find that which you were SEEKING?
I'm here because of TALK LIKE TED.
I love my Amygdalam
She's amazing!!
AMAZING 🤩
love this talk
You can go via the contact tab on her website, good luck, Claire Li!

Q: "how does that fit?"
A: You're 'over thinking' it ;-)
Imagine what a teen brain goes through in a war zone...
Thanks very much for share...
WE HAVE THE ABILITY, AWESOME ! Now, let's use our POWER!
You're off to a flying start! :-)
Thank you
I love her. She is amusing !!!
Oh word?
Me encantaria en español escuchar a la doctora
12:20 best advice for teenage brain
love you Jill!!!
Thank you🙏❤️
Good blessing
Excellent 👌👌
Inspiring 👏👏
Not a teen anymore, but 23 and i still dont know what to do. I have plans but it is extremely difficult to make alive.
Damn I love her
I Love You Jill!
omg so inspirational
God, her talking speeds drive me straight to my anxiety....
13:22 The way she drinks 😂
I am trying hard to identify the worth taking home info, from her hectic way of doing a presentation
Nope, made it just half way...
Congrats! :-) You've taken the first baby-step to understanding what she was going on about. Do you now understand why her presentation manifests as being 'hectic' (to you?). I wish you well :-)

just fuck off
The day has come for people will rage when Truth of God spoken.
I wonder if she sells "I love my amygdala t-shirt", anyone?
Thanks Jill, phew!
...what every home needs.
You comment is _potentially_ 'interesting' :-) That said, what does it mean?
Dear friends, does anyone know how to contact Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor? I want to write email her or become Facebook friend with her, she made me cried many times, she is my "mum".
I hope that you have become less needy.

only you, can make your own dicision, not by others. others are just noise. you can help others or not.
Miner, I agree, but it is extremely difficult to do. It takes lots of understanding and practice.
Nice!
she is so cool
"Cheerleading" - what!?
i cant relate i should be growing but im no bigger then a 11yr i should didn't disconnect from friends or find many new interest its always been code, game, science and history since i was baby boy, idk why am i not becoming more independent i am just better at thinking
Eu sou assim minha vida toda.. não tenho dificuldade para controlar meus medos.. na verdade tenho medo de praticamente nada.. ah eu tenho medo de morrer e não conhecer meus netos só isso
fantástica

You finding intuition useful has reminded me of a book which I found useful, that book is: 'The Gift of Fear' by Gavin De Becker.
oh this is amazing! XD
I am a child of the most high God :)
Isn't she just great ::-)
