I've never heard it articulated or formalized in this manner. It's interesting to see it explained in a different light and in a more methodical way, especially defining people/things as their own 'universe'.” Henry Tran – Principal Engineer, SpaceX _______________ “I think it’s a book people can learn from. The formula provides a fresh approach to looking at one’s life and interaction with others and the world that hasn’t been written before. I found myself getting immersed when reading some of the background information in Section 1 and the business section. When reading various sections, examples from my own life came to mind.” Lyndi Beale, Editor

Mind: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology)


Book Description

A New York Times Bestseller. A scientist’s exploration into the mysteries of the human mind. What is the mind? What is the experience of the self truly made of? How does the mind differ from the brain? Though the mind’s contents—its emotions, thoughts, and memories—are often described, the essence of mind is rarely, if ever, defined. In this book, noted neuropsychiatrist and New York Times best-selling author Daniel J. Siegel, MD, uses his characteristic sensitivity and interdisciplinary background to offer a definition of the mind that illuminates the how, what, when, where, and even why of who we are, of what the mind is, and what the mind’s self has the potential to become. MIND takes the reader on a deep personal and scientific journey into consciousness, subjective experience, and information processing, uncovering the mind’s self-organizational properties that emerge from both the body and the relationships we have with one another, and with the world around us. While making a wide range of sciences accessible and exciting—from neurobiology to quantum physics, anthropology to psychology—this book offers an experience that addresses some of our most pressing personal and global questions about identity, connection, and the cultivation of well-being in our lives.
