The Mindful Brain

From the author of the internationally-acclaimed best-selling text *The Developing

Mind* , and esteemed leader and educator in the field of mental health,

comes the first book ever to integrate neuroscience research with the ancient

art of mindfulness. The result is a groundbreaking approach to not simply mental

health, but life in general, which shows readers how personal awareness

and attunement can actually stimulate emotional circuits in the brain, leading

to a host of physiological benefits, including greater well-being, resilience, emotional

balance, and improved cardiac and immune function. For clinicians and

laypeople alike, Siegel’s illuminating discussions of the power of the focused

mind provide a wealth of ideas that can transform our lives and deepen our

connections with others, and with ourselves.
