Oprah and brain scientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor talk about how people need to be accountable for the energy they're giving others. Dr. Taylor says this is especially important for hospital patients, which she knows firsthand from her time recovering from a stroke. Then, Oprah shares one of her favorite quotes of all time from Dr. Taylor's book, My Stroke of Insight.

When brain scientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor suffered from a stroke at the age of 37, she lost her memories, her ability to use language and her ego self. Because she couldn't remember who she was, watch as Dr. Taylor says she was blessed with the gift of an awakening.

On Oprah's Soul Series, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor gives Oprah a tutorial on the functions of the brain and how the brain is affected when a stroke occurs. But here's the thing, Dr. Taylor didn't just tell Oprah—she showed her with a real human brain!

Brain scientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor woke up in the morning, hit the snooze button on her alarm and felt a tremendous, pulsing pain behind her left eye. Little did Dr. Taylor know she was experiencing a hemorrhagic stroke.
