Praise
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!’
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.’
