For half a century we have been trained to believe that our right brain hemisphere is our emotional brain, while our left brain houses our rational thinking. Now neuroscience shows that it’s not that simple: in fact, our emotional limbic tissue is evenly divided between our two hemispheres. Consequently, each hemisphere has both an emotional brain and a thinking brain. In this groundbreaking new book, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor—author of the New York Times bestseller My Stroke of Insight —presents these four distinct modules of cells as four characters that make up who we are: Character 1, Left Thinking; Character 2, Left Emotion; Character 3, Right Emotion; and Character 4, Right Thinking. Everything we think, feel, or do is dependent upon brain cells to perform that function. Since each of the Four Characters stems from specific groups of cells that feel unique inside of our body, they each display particular skills, feel specific emotions, or think distinctive thoughts. In Whole Brain Living, available in paperback for the first time, Dr. Taylor blends neuroanatomy with psychology to help us: Get acquainted with our own Four Characters, observe how they show up in our daily life, and learn to identify and relate to them in others as well Apply the wisdom of the Four Characters to every area of life—from work to relationships to health Use a powerful practice called the Brain Huddle—a tool for bringing our Four Characters into conversation with one another—to short-circuit emotional reactivity, tap our characters’ respective strengths, and choose which one to embody in any situation The more we become familiar with each of the characters in ourselves and others, the more power we gain over our thoughts, our feelings, our relationships, and our lives. Indeed, we discover that we have the power to choose who and how we want to be in every moment. And when our Four Characters work together and balance one another as a whole brain, we gain a radical new road map to deep inner peace. Review: A life-changing experience - As a retired social worker, it's been a long time since I've read a book that changes your view of everything. This book is filled with information on how to address a variety of issues. Unfortunately, these are driven by character one as I've learned from this book. We often view the brain as a single entity, but this book has taught me that there are four distinct systems that take control over our behavior, emotions, and thoughts. This knowledge and understanding is both liberating and empowering. I have already started applying the information to my own life and have found it to be very helpful. She does an excellent job of explaining complicated information in an easy to understand way. If you can only read one book this year, I recommend that this be it. Review: Fascinating, Enlightening, Practical - Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor has a gift for explaining complex biology in a simple and practical manner. Our bodies and brains are such marvels- and through this book, you will have a deeper appreciation of the miracle of our lives. The writing is simply beautiful. The advice is very, very practical. Section after section leaves you empowered and better informed to tackle your days. The brain huddle and observing which character is active - are practices you can start immediately. Definitely a fantastic and very practical read- highly recommend this for anyone on a journey of transformation - wanting to be a better parent, leader or person. 🙏🏽💜 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #23,578 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Nervous System Diseases (Books) #34 in Stress Management Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,480 Reviews | ## Images ![Whole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eE0Xfo3DL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A life-changing experience *by D***R on October 28, 2025* As a retired social worker, it's been a long time since I've read a book that changes your view of everything. This book is filled with information on how to address a variety of issues. Unfortunately, these are driven by character one as I've learned from this book. We often view the brain as a single entity, but this book has taught me that there are four distinct systems that take control over our behavior, emotions, and thoughts. This knowledge and understanding is both liberating and empowering. I have already started applying the information to my own life and have found it to be very helpful. She does an excellent job of explaining complicated information in an easy to understand way. If you can only read one book this year, I recommend that this be it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating, Enlightening, Practical *by V***Y on November 14, 2021* Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor has a gift for explaining complex biology in a simple and practical manner. Our bodies and brains are such marvels- and through this book, you will have a deeper appreciation of the miracle of our lives. The writing is simply beautiful. The advice is very, very practical. Section after section leaves you empowered and better informed to tackle your days. The brain huddle and observing which character is active - are practices you can start immediately. Definitely a fantastic and very practical read- highly recommend this for anyone on a journey of transformation - wanting to be a better parent, leader or person. 🙏🏽💜 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Know Thyself would be a great title for the book *by H***L on May 19, 2024* This is an excellent follow up to 'Stroke of Insight." Her personal journey, combined with her intricate knowledge of how the mind works as well as her ongoing research, have produced a highly informative and insightful (pun intended) description of how our brains work. I have found myself totally immersed in figuring out my own characters 1,2,3 and 4 and how they interact with each other and the external world. I have learned new techniques to dampen my own emotional responses to old triggers and am finding more time for peaceful living. It doesn't require any special foreknowledge because she has a unique ability to take complicated concepts and boil them down into easy-to-understand, everyday language. If you want to take control of your thoughts and find a more nourishing way to live, this book is for you. ## Frequently Bought Together - Whole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life - My Stroke of Insight --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/562231993-whole-brain-living-the-anatomy-of-choice-and-the-four](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/562231993-whole-brain-living-the-anatomy-of-choice-and-the-four) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
