Money Mangement
 
We all know it is the key to success as we all can pick winners at times. Well, I saw this video last night and was thinking it is possibly the key to understanding why we make bad bets at times. It discribes in a sensational way the difference of the right brain versus left brain by a brain doctor who has a stroke herself. Very facinating!

This is about Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, who I actually know (not well, but I contacted her after reading her book). The name of her book is "My Stroke of Insight". Dr. Taylor is a Harvard neuroanatomist who suffered a massive stroke herself from a ruptured AVM about 8 years ago. One by one, as a result of her stroke, she lost body functions -- speech, mobility, brain function, etc. She has now fully recovered from her stroke and writes about the process in the book.

Her story is fascinating.

I have actually recommended this book to several people I know, one being Ken Ramsey, whose wife had a stroke last year. Here is her website:
