Both a personal and general meditation on identity and belonging, Daniel J. Siegel's book combines personal reflections with scientific discussions of how the mind, brain and our relationships shape who we are. Weaving the internal and external, the subjective and objective, IntraConnected reveals how our culture may give us a message of separation as a solo, isolated self, but a wider perspective unveils that who we are may be something more-broader than the brain, bigger even than the body-and fundamental to social systems and the natural world.

Our body-based self-the origin of a Me-is not only connected to others but connected within our relational worlds themselves-a WE-forming the essence of how we belong and our identity. If the pandemic has taught us nothing else, it has taught us that we are all connected. IntraConnected discusses that bond, as well as other realities of our intraconnected lives.

Reviews
"In this personally engaging and philosophically illuminating work, Dr. Dan Siegel takes his unique explorations of the human experience of self and mind to a yet deeper level, revealing what he aptly calls the pandemic of solo-self to be based on a delusion, one at odds with both contemporary science and traditional wisdom. Eloquently and expertly, he guides us back towards our true nature: intra- and inter-being with all others and all that is." -- Gabor Mate
