3 quotes from My Stroke of Insight

"I knew that if I could just find a way to let go of my ego and my need to be right, I could step into the other person's experience and be present."
"We are not our thoughts. We are not our feelings. We are the awareness behind those thoughts and feelings."
"Recovery is about figuring out how to juggle the world of the right hemisphere with the world of the left hemisphere."
