I found Dr. Bolte Taylor’s book “My Stroke of Insight” before my AVM resection back in 2022. I rewatched her ted talk yesterday because I needed help resetting my mindset. I get so anxious about upcoming issues that I feel paralyzed, which makes the original fear even worse. Listening to her take on recovery and what we can learn from neurological events has honestly been life changing for me. If you haven’t read or listened to her before, I highly recommended giving it a try.

I thought it worth putting the link to the TED talk here:
Eight years to recovery!
I am completely with her on choosing peace and I think this is worth keeping on our AVM bookshelf, so I’ve moved it to the AVM101 section.
