Today’s guest is Dr. Dan Siegel. Dr. Siegel received his medical degree from Harvard University and completed his postgraduate medical education at UCLA with training in pediatrics and child, adolescent and adult psychiatry. He served as a National Institute of Mental Health Research Fellow at UCLA, studying family interactions with an emphasis on how attachment experiences influence emotions, behavior, autobiographical memory and narrative.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How to define “mindsight”?
• What is interpersonal neurobiology and how these two ideas relate to our human experience?
• The difference between the “mind” and the brain.
• How to recognize and acknowledge feelings and experiences without being consumed by them?
• What role does media play in how we view the world?
• Do we have an opportunity to shift the flow of information from a predominantly externally focused paradigm to one that helps us gain awareness of our own internal processes and attachments?

Authors at Google: Dan Siegel - The Adolescent Brain and the Essence of Life

Dr. Dan Siegel stopped by Google earlier this month to talk about his newest book, Brainstorm: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain (2013). Here is a synopsis of the book:

Between the ages of 12 and 24, the brain changes in important, and oftentimes maddening, ways. It’s no wonder that many parents approach their child’s adolescence with fear and trepidation. According to renowned neuropsychiatrist Daniel Siegel's New York Times bestseller Brainstorm, if parents and teens can work together to form a deeper understanding of the brain science behind all the tumult, they will be able to turn conflict into connection and form a deeper understanding of one another.
In Brainstorm, Siegel illuminates how brain development impacts teenagers’ behavior and relationships. Drawing on important new research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, he explores exciting ways in which understanding how the teenage brain functions can help parents make what is in fact an incredibly positive period of growth, change, and experimentation in their children’s lives less lonely and distressing on both sides of the generational divide.
Brainstorm is a New York Times bestseller and current nominee for a Books for a Better Life award.

Enjoy the talk!
