PeoplePsych says:
This book is for those who enjoy the science of the brain, the neurobiological response of emotional trauma, and the ways that we can transform as we heal.
Dan Siegel explains the difference between the mind and the brain. Interpersonal neurobiology impacts our perspectives and response to stress. This book creates hope and helps the reader realize that we can evolve and change brain chemistry with awareness and understanding. I really love Dan Siegel’s soft tone in how he explains something incredibly complex.
From the Publisher
If you think your brain and mind are one, think again. According to the interpersonal neurobiology pioneer Daniel J. Siegel, the mind actually emerges out of the interaction between your brain and relationships. Now, with The Neurobiology of “We”, Dr. Siegel invites you on a journey to discover this revolutionary new model of human development – one that can positively transform trauma, move you from stress to calm and equanimity, and promote well-being for you, your family, or even your community.
