Praise
‘Dan Siegel who gave us a succinct and clear definition of mind now explores the awareness that knows that mind. Read this book if you want true freedom and spontaneous creativity.’
‘We know so much about what’s outside in the Cosmos, billions of light years away but very little about what’s going on inside our heads right now. We know about dark matter but not so much about grey matter, which I would think, matters most. Daniel Siegel finally gives us insight into who we are, how we work and most important of all how to retrain and change our minds. For me, almost every line is an ‘aha’ moment. At long last, someone nails what it is to have a healthy mind and if you don’t have one, how to get one.’
