Book Questions

Ok, you caught me. I haven't finished the book yet. These are the questions I have come up with so far. Please think about these as you read the book.

1. How was Ms. Bolte Taylor's stroke like you own?
2. How was it different?
3. How was your treatment/rehab different from Ms. Bolte Taylor's? Do you think the type of treatment she endorses would have worked for you? Why or why not?
4. Do you think this would be a good book for a recent stroke survivor or their family? Why or why not?
5. What did you learn from this book?
6. What would you like your healthcare/rehab professionals to know from this book? Do you think this is an appropriate book for healthcare workers?
7. Who did you feel was the intended audience of this book?
8. Summarize (or at least think about) the theory behind this book. How do you know? Do you feel this book is scientific/factual or intended as a memoir?
9. If you were to write a book about your experiences, what would you tell people? OR What would you want people to learn from your experience?
10. What would you like to read/watch next? (Movies are ok, too.)

Book of the Month

For our next regular meeting, our stroke group will be reading Jill Bolte Taylor's My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey. I have not read this book but have heard a lot about it. It should be interesting. It is available on amazon.com or from your local book store. We would love to have you join us. Our regular meeting will be November 6th, so I'll post discussion questions around that time.
