Practicing Mindsight

Mindsight—A Potent Skill That Can Help Us Rewire Our Brain and Live Life to the Fullest Mindsight is the term that Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, a pioneer in the emerging field of interpersonal neurobiology, coined to help us understand how we can harness the power of our minds for personal transformation. With Practicing Mindsight, this acclaimed author and speaker invites you to join him for an online course that explores how to resculpt our neural pathways, and break free from the mental patterns that hold us back from living life to the fullest.  A thorough distillation of his life’s work, this immersive six-session course includes four instructional sessions, and two Q&A sessions—more than seven hours of paradigm-shifting insights, cutting-edge science, and helpful tools for developing this valuable life skill. “Dr. Daniel Siegel is one of the most thoughtful, eloquent, scientifically solid and reputable exponents of mind/body/brain integration in the world today.” — Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, author of Wherever You Go, There You Are “Mindsight is a remarkable exploration into the synergistic workings of the mind and the brain. Using clinical vignettes…Dr. Siegel shows us how we can go from reactive impulsiveness to receptive awareness so that we can make valid choices, not blindly repeat maladaptive behaviors.” — Clarice Kestenbaum, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Columbia University A Global Innovator in the Integration of Science and Psychotherapy Through his 25 years of careful, hands-on clinical work, Dr. Siegel has made it his mission to understand the complex interplay between our mind, brain, and relationships—and how to leverage this dynamic for improved health and well-being. Using scientific research from a broad range of fields including attachment theory, psychology, neurobiology, and medicine as well as fresh insights into its practical application in everyday life, Dr. Siegel has developed unique approaches that have helped hundreds of patients heal themselves from painful events in the past and overcome the obstacles to happiness in the present. Dr. Siegel’s discoveries have also inspired cultural leaders in numerous fields to transform and enhance their work—from His Holiness the Dalai Lama to the Vatican and more.
