Reviews

Praise for Aware:

'This is a Dan Siegel masterpiece. He integrates decades of science and wisdom about the nature of our mind and optimal well-being into an easy to read personal journey. At the cornerstone is "The Wheel of Awareness," a simple yet profound visual map of the mind, which enables people, including children, to experience of presence, self knowledge, and compassion. Aware will awaken and enrich your life immeasurably!'

-- Elissa Epel, professor at UCSF, member of the National Academy of Science, co-author of New York Times bestseller The Telomere Effect

Praise for Aware:

'Dan is a brilliant integrator and Aware is a visionary blend of neuroscience, physics, and cutting edge psychology combined with creative approaches to mindfulness and compassion. The practice of the Wheel brings together many skilful and wise elements of meditation, all rolled into one.'

-- Jack Kornfield, author of The Wise Heart and No Time Like the Present

Praise for The Power of Showing Up:

'Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson have written their best book yet - and that is saying a lot. They have distilled their parenting wisdom - based on neuroscience research and a deep empathy for children's needs - into a profound concept: showing up. It is one of those great ideas that seems so obvious - but only after someone has shown it to you and spelled it out clearly. Best of all, Siegel and Bryson "show up" for the reader of this book. They know parents, know their fears and anxieties, hopes and dreams. They know that showing up for children is harder than it sounds, and they provide an accessible path to seeing and soothing children and providing them with safety and security.'

-- Lawrence J. Cohen, PhD, author of Playful Parenting

Praise for The Power of Showing Up:

'At a cultural moment when many kids feel more competition with their parents' devices than with their siblings, Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson have spun a miracle - The Power of Showing Up is the ultimate guide to family reconnection. Clear, profound, and charmingly illustrated, it unravels the challenges of modern parenting and reveals the simple truths about what children really need from the adults in their lives.'

-- Wendy Mogel, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and The Blessing of a B Minus
