Publisher's summary

If you think your brain and mind are one, think again. According to the interpersonal neurobioligy pioneer Daniel J. Siegel, the mind actually emerges out of the interaction between your brain and relationships. Now, with The Neurobiology of "We", Dr. Siegel invites you on a journey to discover this revolutionary new model of human development - one that can positively transform trauma, move you from stress to calm and equanimity, and promote well-being for you, your family, or even your community.

Outstanding! Pure genius...

I am currently, at the age of 42, finishing up two bachelor degrees - one in psychology and the other in anthropology. I have also been practicing mindfulness through disciplines like Tai Chi, Yoga and seated meditation for the last 12 years.

I think Siegel has done the most holistic and comprehensive job of covering the power of being mindful, and what it means to our social relationships! There is an amazing amount of digestible information in this book. Highly recommend it! If you are NOT a student of neurobiology you may want to take some notes so as not to get lost; there are a lot of layers to what he is offering within this work.

Keep an eye on this man's work, he is onto some powerful ways of understanding the processes of what it is to be a human being.

Excellent teacher.

Any additional comments?

I am looking forward to listening to this book again. I wish that this book's subject was mandatory teaching in all schools.

Very nicely explained.

Requires your whole attention while listening. Very nicely explained. Thank you dr. Siegel for this scientific picture of life's functioning.

Simply Profound. Beautifully written and performed.

A beautiful listen. Dr. Daniel Siegel adds depth and heart to the content through his performance. He scientific content seems easier to grasp through the spoken word as he adds nuance through his tone and cadence.

I’ve listened twice; once for pure learning, once as prep for a presentation on the power of mindfulness for business productivity and success.

For a more story-based book by him, listen to Mindsight.

I Want Everyone to Listen to This!

Dan Siegel does such thorough, thoughtful, and mindful (:^)) job of explaining how the brain, mind, body processes information, and how past "trauma" can influence your relationships with loved ones, and everyone else. Because I'm a therapist, and I do Past Life Regressions, (I was trained by another psychiatrist, Brian Weiss, MD) I especially loved the part of Dan's lecture where he talks about the "healing" mechanism of turning the events of your life into a meaningful narrative, a story, so that a person heals fast. In Past Life Regression people see their lives from a different perspective, and that help them to "re-do" the event in their brain. And thus helps them heal their present life "traumas," because they experience them as "soul-directed" learning opportunities. Thank you, Dan! I love all your work, and ask all my clients to listen to this!!

Exactly what I was looking for!

Easy to understand. Daniel Siegel shares his knowledge about how the brain and mind work. It is an excellent book. I bought this to help better my understanding of others, mainly children.

Fascinating and profound

I learned so much through this book, starting with the technical aspects of neurobiology that the author goes into, followed by the reasoned and insightful connections he makes to the fields of psychology, education, sociology, and more. Daniel presents deeply complex topics and technical information into consumable insights through his conversational tone, his humility when making careful connections, and also through his ability to translate ideas into clear examples and practical models. I’m hungry to learn more about this topic and look forward to exploring more of his books!

One of the best books I've listened to

This recording brings it all together; the mind, psychology and integration. Siegel has a unique ability to bring it all together seamlessly. When I got to the end I was ready to listen again from the beginning.

Amazing and life changing.

If you want to have a fuller and happier life don't miss this course. A complicated subject made understandable.

1 night binge!!

so engaging I decided to sleep on it. literally dreamed of being read to...Daniel is engaging and passionate
