Dan, who you probably know as one of the pioneers of interpersonal neurobiology, and a member of GAINS Advisory Board, describes Aware as an in-depth look at the science that underlies meditation’s effectiveness. It teaches readers the power of the principle: “Where attention goes, neural firing flows, and neural connection grows.” Siegel reveals how developing a Wheel of Awareness practice to focus attention, open awareness, and cultivate kind intention can help you grow a healthier brain as well as reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in your life.
Whether you have no experience with a reflective practice or are an experienced practitioner, Aware is a hands-on guide that will enable you to become more focused and present, as well as more energized and emotionally resilient in the face of stress and the everyday challenges life throws your way.
Dan Siegel, MD introduces us to his newest book Aware: The science and practice of presence, which was released August 21.
