here's half dozen quotes from jill bolte taylor's book, my stroke of insight, courtesy of chat-gpt and a little synopsis

"The right hemisphere of our brain is all about 'right here, right now.' It's not concerned with the past or the future. It's not concerned with language or linear thinking. It's just right here, right now, and it's all about this present moment."

"The left hemisphere thinks linearly and methodically. It categorizes and organizes. It looks for the details that will give meaning to what it perceives."

"When we experience stress, our brains switch into left-brain mode, and we lose access to the more creative, intuitive right hemisphere."

"Laughter and play are two of the most powerful tools for keeping the right hemisphere of our brain engaged and active."

"The more time we spend in the present moment, the more our right hemisphere comes online, and the more we are able to experience a sense of peace and well-being."

"One of the most important things we can do to activate our right brain is to allow ourselves to be fully immersed in the sensory experience of the present moment."

Overall, Jill Bolte Taylor argues that by practicing mindfulness, engaging in creative activities, and cultivating a sense of play and humor, we can activate the right hemisphere of our brain and experience greater creativity, intuition, and well-being.
