Publisher's summary

A scientist's exploration into the mysteries of the human mind.

Neuroscience studies the brain, but what does science have to say about the mind? A full examination of what we mean by the term "mind" has traditionally been the province of philosophers, but what might neuroscience teach us about it? How does the mind differ from consciousness? And how do we know who we really are?

In this book, noted neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., brings his characteristic sensitivity and interdisciplinary background to this most perplexing of topics. He explores the nature of the who, how, what, why, and when of your mind - of your self - from the perspective of neuroscience. Mind is the essence of our true nature, our deepest sense of being alive, here, right now, in this moment. How science explains it is truly one of the most exciting journeys into knowledge we can take.

love

this book is amazing! I learned so much and feel a deeper connection with myself and our planet. I've never been great with Physics so it did get a bit complex for a little bit. I can say that I understand more than when I began this book! I recommend this to anyone and everyone looking for a better connection with our world.

Too scientific

The subject was interesting but it was intended for academics. However if examples of real life situations were more maybe would have been good for normal people like me.

Dreadfully redundant

The premise is compelling but the book restates it so often and so pedantically that there's no momentum. The reader begins soon to wonder if the author is ever going to get on with developing his ideas or just keep repeating them.

Uuugh!

How many times can you repeat yourself? It appears that Dr. Siegel has babbled himself into conclusion and conviction.

Transformation through clarity!

If you ever wondered if there could be a clear and consilientbreading of the teachings of ancient wisdom and the findings of modern science, neuroscience/brain science then you have found it here with Dr. Dan’s book on Mind. In my experience, this is the most brilliant reading and explanation of systems theory and the implications of the findings of modern science and their ancient roots in the teachings of the wisdom of liberation. I deeply appreciate and love Dr. Dan’s heart/mind and vision for us, all of us.

Word Salad

The author is clearly impressed with his work. Unfortunately, I was not. It’s a word salad that leaves you hungry for an intelligible exploration into the mysteries of the human mind.

Get to the point!

Narration was fine but the book was long winded. Could have been far more concise. Some points were interesting but for the most part it's fake science.

didn't enjoy it at all

This book is such a rambling mess that I thought we'd accidentally gone back to the intro when in reality we were on chapter five. Vague. Incoherent at times. Concepts are often restated without any reference to evidence or data. Plenty of good books on the topic exist. Felt like this one was wasted time.

Narration ruins it

I seriously can't understand why such intelligent individuals, like the author, would think this narration was acceptable. It is so difficult to follow the depth of content when the narrator (also the author) reads every word syllable by syllable. What a disappointment. I love Dan Siegel’s work and I tried so hard to listen to this. It's not digestible even when I adjusted playback speed.
