The Mindful Brain is our well being

This book is one of the keys to a well grounded life. I have gained the knowledge to understand myself better. My past negative and painful experiences have played a big part in the way I feel. But I know that I can change my brain through Mindfulness to have amazing life.

Life-changing...

This book is life-changing. Listen and gain a new understanding of the mindful brain from the intersection of science and spirituality.

Excellent in every way

I love Daniel Siegel's work and found this to be top notch. Very simply and understandably but profoundly presented. Life changing and hopefully world changing.

Listened 4 times!

Great book! Wealth of knowledge! Great explanations about the function of the brain. The use of the hand as an example of the brain is perfect!

Nice, concise summation...

of Siegel's work in the field of neurology and how he has brought together ancient wisdom about meditation and mindfulness and modern science, using science to show why the ancient wisdom has been around so long. In short, he shows how mindful meditation, particularly the type practiced in many forms of Buddhism, restructures the brain in a positive fashion and how it can be used to better our lives in all personal and social situations. I would recommend approaching this book before Siegel's longer work, Mindsight, since most of what is covered here has already been presented in a much more expanded form in that (really excellent) volume. Along with Siegel, one might also read the work of Jeffery Schwarz, Richard Davidson, and Daniel Goleman, as all are leading researchers in the field of how the mind influences the brain, an important new branch of neurology which overthrows the functionalist "brain as machine" model.
