Carolyn Larkin Taylor- Whispers of the Mind

Fans of Oliver Sacks and Gabor Maté will be intrigued by this journey into the human brain, full of fascinating stories—both personal and professional—by a neurologist who’s dedicated her life to understanding the body’s most complex organ.

In Whispers of the Mind, Dr. Carolyn Larkin Taylor shares her professional and personal journey toward becoming a neurologist. Composed of essays that span from medical school to private practice, Taylor's memoir captures the essence of neurology—a field rarely associated with joy, yet rich in profound rewards.

"Whispers of the Mind is a remarkable memoir—tender, smart, and beautifully written. Seasoned neurologist and author Carolyn Taylor brims with compassion for life’s fragility—and for the resilient patients she helped navigate life and death over the course of her career. Vulnerability and candor mark this fascinating collection of memories, and Dr Taylor's intuition and skill as a diagnostician kept me spellbound to the very last page."—Cheryl Grey Bostrom, author of Sugar Birds and Leaning on Air
