From a pioneer in the field of mental health comes a book on the healing power of 'mindsight', the capacity for insight and empathy that allows you to make positive changes in your brain - and in your life. A Harvard-trained physician, Daniel J. Siegel coined the term mindsight to describe the innovative integration of brain science with the practice of psychotherapy. Using interactive examples and case histories from his practice, he shows how mindsight can be applied to alleviate a range of psychological and interpersonal problems, from anxiety disorders to ingrained patterns of behaviour. With warmth and humour, Dr Siegel shows us how to observe the working of our minds, allowing us to understand why we think, feel, and act the way we do, and how, by following the proper steps, we can literally change the wiring and architecture of our brains. Both practical and profound, Mindsight offers exciting new proof that we have the ability, at any stage in our lives, to transform our thinking, our well-being, and our relationships.
