From a pioneer in the field of mental health comes a groundbreaking
book on the healing power of "mindsight," the potent skill that is
the basis for both emotional and social intelligence. Mindsight
allows you to make positive changes in your brain–and in your life.
• Is there a memory that torments you, or an irrational fear you
can' t shake?
• Do you sometimes become unreasonably angry or upset and find it
hard to calm down?
• Do you ever wonder why you can't stop behaving the way you do, no
matter how hard you try?
• Are you and your child (or parent, partner, or boss) locked
in a seemingly inevitable pattern of conflict?
What if you could escape traps like these and live a fuller,
richer, happier life? This isn't mere speculation but the result of
twenty-five years of careful hands-on clinical work by Daniel J.
Siegel, M.D. A Harvard-trained physician, Dr. Siegel is one of the
revolutionary global innovators in the integration of brain science
into the practice of psychotherapy. Using case histories from his
practice, he shows how, by following the proper steps, nearly
everyone can learn how to focus their attention on the internal
world of the mind in a way that will literally change the wiring
and architecture of their brain.
Through his synthesis of a broad range of scientific research with
applications to everyday life, Dr. Siegel has developed novel
approaches that have helped hundreds of patients heal themselves
from painful events in the past and liberate themselves from
obstacles blocking their happiness in the present. And now he has
written the first book that will help all of us understand the
potential we have to create our own lives. Showing us mindsight in
action, Dr. Siegel describes
• a sixteen-year-old boy with bipolar disorder who uses meditation
and other techniques instead of drugs to calm the emotional storms
that made him suicidal
• a woman paralyzed by anxiety, who uses mindsight to discover, in
an unconscious memory of a childhood accident, the source of her
dread
• a physician–the author himself–who pays attention to his
intuition, which he experiences as a "vague, uneasy feeling in my
belly, a gnawing restlessness in my heart and my gut," and tracks
down a patient who could have gone deaf because of an inaccurately
written prescription for an ear infection
• a twelve-year-old girl with OCD who learns a meditation that is
"like watching myself from outside myself" and, using a form of
internal dialogue, is able to stop the compulsive behaviors that
have been tormenting her
These and many other extraordinary stories illustrate how mindsight
can help us master our emotions, heal our relationships, and reach
our fullest potential.
A book as inspiring as it is informative, as practical as it is
profound, Mindsight offers exciting new proof that we aren't
hardwired to behave in certain ways, but instead have the ability
to harness the power of our minds to resculpt the neural pathways
of our brains in ways that will be life-transforming.
