Thanks for sharing @pando. I have read no 24 on your list. If you had to pick one or 2 books only which would be your choice of ones to start with?

Best wishes

Hey Ann,

My stroke experience was very different to Jill Bolt Taylor’s AVM, but interesting how she stabilized herself all the same.

I’d recommend these 2 books, because they show you biology is not set in stone; it can and does change with your every thought :slight_smile: They are full of beautiful stories that will inspire you every step of the way

n3. “The Biology of Belief” by Bruce Lipton
n5. “The Brain that Changes Itself” by Norman Doidge

Happy reading ! Happy Christmas ( getting there )
ciao, Roland
