Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation

"From a pioneer in the field of mental health comes a groundbreaking book on the healing power of 'mindsight,' the potent skill that allows you to make positive changes in your brain-and in your life. Foreword by Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence • Is there a memory that torments you, or an irrational fear you can't shake? • Do you sometimes become unreasonably angry or upset and find it hard to calm down? • Do you ever wonder why you can't stop behaving the way you do, no matter how hard you try? • Are you and your child (or parent, partner, or boss) locked in a seemingly inevitable pattern of conflict? What if you could escape traps like these and live a fuller, richer, happier life? This isn't mere speculation but the result of twenty-five years of careful hands-on clinical work by Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. A Harvard-trained physician, Dr. Siegel is one of the revolutionary global innovators in the integration of brain science into the practice of psychotherapy. Using case histories from his practice, he shows how, by following the proper steps, nearly everyone can learn how to focus their attention on the internal world of the mind in a way that will literally change the wiring and architecture of their brain. Through his synthesis of a broad range of scientific research with applications to everyday life, Dr. Siegel has developed novel approaches that have helped hundreds of patients. And now he has written the first book that will help all of us understand the potential we have to create our own lives. Showing us mindsight in action, Dr. Siegel describes • a sixteen-year-old boy with bipolar disorder who uses meditation and other techniques instead of drugs to calm the emotional storms that made him suicidal • a woman paralyzed by anxiety, who uses mindsight to discover, in an unconscious memory of a childhood accident, the source of her dread • a physician-the author himself-who pays attention to his intuition, which he experiences as a 'vague, uneasy feeling in my belly, a gnawing restlessness in my heart and my gut,' and tracks down a patient who could have gone deaf because of an inaccurately written prescription for an ear infection • a twelve-year-old girl with OCD who learns a meditation that is 'like watching myself from outside myself' and, using a form of internal dialogue, is able to stop the compulsive behaviors that have been tormenting her These and many other extraordinary stories illustrate how mindsight can help us master our emotions, heal our relationships, and reach our fullest potential."

"Una guía imprescindible para orientar y alimentar el desarrollo mental de tu hijo. Por los autores delbest seller internacional El cerebro del niño. Los autores de El cerebro del niño, Daniel J. Siegel y Tina Payne Bryson, analizan, en esta ocasión, el desafío primordial en la educación de los hijos: la disciplina. Haciendo hincapié en el fascinante vínculo entre el desarrollo neurológico del niño y el modo en que los padres reaccionan ante la mala conducta de este, Disciplina sin lágrimas proporciona un efectivo y compasivo «mapa de carreteras» para afrontar las pataletas, las tensiones y las lágrimas sin montar un número. Al definir el verdadero significado de la palabra «disciplina» (instruir sin gritos ni regañinas), los autores explican cómo establecer una conexión con el niño, redirigir las emociones y convertir una rabieta en una oportunidad para crecer. De este modo, el ciclo de comportamiento(y castigo) negativo básicamente se detiene, mientras que la resolución del problema se transforma en una situación en la que todos salen ganando. En esta guía para no volverte loco descubrirás: - Estrategias para ayudar a los padres a identificar su propia filosofía disciplinaria y dominar los mejores métodos para transmitir las lecciones que intentan impartir. - Aspectos del desarrollo del cerebro del niño y análisis de las disciplinas más adecuadas y constructivas para todas las edades y etapas. - La manera de conectar con un niño con tranquilidad y afectuosidad -por extrema que sea su conducta-, fijando a la vez límites claros y coherentes. - Consejos para orientar a tus hijos a lo largo de una pataleta a fin de lograr percepción, empatía y reparación. - Veinte errores en relación con la disciplina que hasta los mejores padres cometen, y cómo permanecer centrados en los principios de las técnicas disciplinarias y el estilo parental de «cerebro pleno».

Los mejores comentarios de los lectores: «Imprescindible en nuestra biblioteca. Recomiendo su lectura,no es imprescindible haber leído El cerebro del niño ya que te explica bastante sobre el funcionamiento de este.

The Power of Showing Up: How Parental Presence Shapes Who Our Kids Become and How Their Brains Get W

"Parenting isn't easy. Showing up is. Your greatest impact begins right where you are. Now the bestselling authors of The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline explain what this means over the course of childhood. "There is parenting magic in this book."-Michael Thompson, Ph.D., co-author of the New York Times bestselling classic Raising Cain One of the very best scientific predictors for how any child turns out-in terms of happiness, academic success, leadership skills, and meaningful relationships-is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. In an age of scheduling demands and digital distractions, showing up for your child might sound like a tall order. But as bestselling authors Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, it doesn't take a lot of time, energy, or money. Instead, showing up means offering a quality of presence. And it's simple to provide once you understand the four building blocks of a child's healthy development. Every child needs to feel what Siegel and Bryson call the Four S's: • Safe: We can't always insulate a child from injury or avoid doing something that leads to hurt feelings. But when we give a child a sense of safe harbor, she will be able to take the needed risks for growth and change. • Seen: Truly seeing a child means we pay attention to his emotions-both positive and negative-and strive to attune to what's happening in his mind beneath his behavior. • Soothed: Soothing isn't about providing a life of ease; it's about teaching your child how to cope when life gets hard, and showing him that you'll be there with him along the way. A soothed child knows that he'll never have to suffer alone. • Secure: When a child knows she can count on you, time and again, to show up-when you reliably provide safety, focus on seeing her, and soothe her in times of need, she will trust in a feeling of secure attachment. And thrive! Based on the latest brain and attachment research, The Power of Showing Up shares stories, scripts, simple strategies, and tips for honoring the Four S's effectively in all kinds of situations-when our kids are struggling or when they are enjoying success; when we are consoling, disciplining, or arguing with them; and even when we are apologizing for the times we don't show up for them. Demonstrating that mistakes and missteps are repairable and that it's never too late to mend broken trust, this book is a powerful guide to cultivating your child's healthy emotional landscape. This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of The Refrigerator Sheet, a summary of the four S's to remember in forming secure attachments."
