Session Type: Workshop
Are you curious how understanding your brain can better impact the quality of your life? in Whole Brain Living, The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, she introduces readers to the four characters of the brain that make up who we are and presents a new framework to understand our behaviors, feelings, and emotions. The sessions will function as a roadmap that you can use to help yourself transform your life by better understanding your whole brain. Our brains are cool! Once you master the techniques and concepts presented, you will feel empowered to make better choices and live the life you want to live. We will break down with clarity and simplicity how we can short-circuit our emotional reactivity and increase our ability to think clearly. In Whole Brain Living we train ourselves to shift our focus away from our reactivity into the healthier thinking and experiential parts of our brain. Whole Brain Living is a total game changer in that once these skills are mastered, we gain the ability to transform how we look at ourselves, how we interact with others, and ultimately how we contribute to the world.
