Research suggests that the presence of the therapist, and how the therapist truly forges a connection with the client in therapy, are the most crucial factors affecting the client’s healing process. An engaged, committed, caring therapist who is mindful of his or her own self - and how that self relates to the client - is the key determinant of how well that client will respond to therapy.

Story
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 best-selling 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.

Between the ages of 12 and 24, the brain changes in important and often maddening ways. It’s no wonder that many parents approach their child’s adolescence with fear and trepidation. According to renowned neuropsychiatrist Daniel Siegel, however, if parents and teens can work together to form a deeper understanding of the brain science behind all the tumult, they will be able to turn conflict into connection and form a deeper understanding of one another. In Brainstorm, Siegel illuminates how brain development affects teenagers’ behaviour and relationships.

A scientist's exploration into the mysteries of the human mind. Neuroscience studies the brain, but what does science have to say about the mind? A full examination of what we mean by the term "mind" has traditionally been the province of philosophers, but what might neuroscience teach us about it? How does the mind differ from consciousness? And how do we know who we really are?

The premise of Trauma and the Body is that, by adding body-oriented interventions to their repertoire, traditionally trained therapists can increase the depth and efficacy of their clinical work. Sensorimotor psychotherapy is an approach that builds on traditional psychotherapeutic understanding but includes the body as central in the therapeutic field of awareness, using observational skills, theories, and interventions not usually practiced in psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Dr Gabor Maté is one of the world’s most revered thinkers on the psychology of addiction. His radical findings - based on decades of work with patients challenged by catastrophic drug addiction and mental illness - are reframing how we view all human development. In this award-winning modern classic, Gabor Maté takes a holistic and compassionate approach to addiction, whether to alcohol, drugs, sex, money or anything self-destructive. He presents it not as a discrete phenomenon confined to a weak-willed few but as a continuum that runs through (and even underpins) our society.

In this culmination of his life's work, Peter A. Levine draws on his broad experience as a clinician, a student of comparative brain research, a stress scientist, and a keen observer of the naturalistic animal world to explain the nature and transformation of trauma in the body, brain and psyche. In an Unspoken Voice is based on the idea that trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder but rather an injury caused by fright, helplessness, and loss that can be healed by engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions.

Brilliant! Read if: You're a human being.
I'm struggling to cohesively express what I got from this book. This is not just for those that have difficult pasts, present or those in a point in their life where it may be difficult to say where they're aiming to be in the future (it happens, I've been there and I wish I had this book during that time, it would have made a difficult but unavoidable situation much less awful). I had a very wholesome upbringing, my parents were quite alternative as far as parents came during my childhood and they raised me based on the same schools of thought and psychological frameworks that Dr Siegel seems to practice, my partner however had a VERY different upbringing due to his race (or the racism of this country) and being the 5th child of a single mother. Believe me when I say that this book was written for the benefit of all, it slowly teaches you large concepts and enjoyably put together so that there is something that everyone can take away from it - Dr Siegel also has an extremely fresh and unique (I suspect) approach to his area of expertise, his a dude!

among the best
What made the experience of listening to The Neurobiology of 'We' the most enjoyable?
I think it is so important that nonfiction audiobooks be given by the researcher/teacher. These topics are complex and just reading them from a script by a vocal performer can be brutal to a listener, so I truly loved hearing Siegel talk about his work. I could not tell if he was reading the book/script but the information was effectively delivered in a way that felt like we were having a conversation.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The whole "book" moved me. The whole field of neuroscience "moves" me. I am a different person because of it and I highly recommend this text for those interested in the subject. I will also say I listened to this book cleaning my house during the day while reading The Body Keeps the Score when I went to bed a night--and between these two very complementary texts everything has changed for me.
Any additional comments?
I would like to personally thank the author for sharing his work in a way that is accessible to the broad public. He has been given a true gift for teaching and research. No, it wasn't always easy to understand some of the science but he asked his listeners to bear with him, and so I stopped my cleaning or whatever and hung on trying to do so.
Which leads to my one minor but really important suggestion, and that is to provide the listeners with a few handouts of some of the brain roles and processes described within if this is at all possible. As I listened I found myself with a burning desire to plot out some of what was presented on a big chalkboard so I could get a grip on these big brain ideas that had my forehead bunched up and aching as I searched for understanding and clarity on a subject (brain science) I know very little.
Siegel did provide good verbal direction for visualizing the brain stem as your arm, and reptilian brain as thumb, with other parts folded over but somehow I didn't get that until a friend showed me. Maybe even just offering little suggestions for visual learners to draw and map out a few of these processes on a piece of paper might offer an additional accessibility to the ideas presented. Of course, listeners could just buy the book in it's physical form, but buying twice isn't always an option.
So, fellow "readers," if you are wondering if to click that button to purchase, I would highly suggest that you do.

Outstanding! Pure genius...
I am currently, at the age of 42, finishing up two bachelor degrees - one in psychology and the other in anthropology. I have also been practicing mindfulness through disciplines like Tai Chi, Yoga and seated meditation for the last 12 years.
I think Siegel has done the most holistic and comprehensive job of covering the power of being mindful, and what it means to our social relationships! There is an amazing amount of digestible information in this book. Highly recommend it! If you are NOT a student of neurobiology you may want to take some notes so as not to get lost; there are a lot of layers to what he is offering within this work.
Keep an eye on this man's work, he is onto some powerful ways of understanding the processes of what it is to be a human being.

great information and perspective
I've read several of Dan Siegel's books, but this is the one that focuses on interpersonal neurobiology, which I'm most interested in. I would have preferred a written book because Dan speaks with so much vocal fry that I found it difficult to listen to him for more than a few minutes at a time. He holds such ownership of the perspective that it makes sense for him to present it, but I had to listen in short chunks. Definitely worthwhile: an easy-to-understand explanation of some very complex and important information.

Why We is so Crucial
What did you love best about The Neurobiology of 'We'?
Neurobiology of We is easily understood assembly of developmental concepts which shape our life, our relationships, and even our brain. Dr Siegel writes in a comfortable style that is similar to sitting around and chatting. This doesn't mean it's not rigorous, it means you can tell he's speaking to you, not over you.
What other book might you compare The Neurobiology of 'We' to and why?
Several - The Buddha's Brain, The Mindful Therapist for a bit more rigor, Attachment in Psychotherapy. These books look at the brain, the mind, our relationships and what is healthy.
What does Daniel J. Siegel bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
In a word- emotion!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The entire book is moving to me.

I Want Everyone to Listen to This!
Dan Siegel does such thorough, thoughtful, and mindful (:^)) job of explaining how the brain, mind, body processes information, and how past "trauma" can influence your relationships with loved ones, and everyone else. Because I'm a therapist, and I do Past Life Regressions, (I was trained by another psychiatrist, Brian Weiss, MD) I especially loved the part of Dan's lecture where he talks about the "healing" mechanism of turning the events of your life into a meaningful narrative, a story, so that a person heals fast. In Past Life Regression people see their lives from a different perspective, and that help them to "re-do" the event in their brain. And thus helps them heal their present life "traumas," because they experience them as "soul-directed" learning opportunities. Thank you, Dan! I love all your work, and ask all my clients to listen to this!!

Fabulous overview and exploration of brain/mind
Would you listen to The Neurobiology of 'We' again? Why?
If you are interested in understanding the underpinnings of the brain as it relates to the mind this book is fabulous. It is beneficial to have a foundation in therapeutic language as it relates to the functions of the brain. At times, my previous understanding of the brain was indispensable. Still, the content is relative and useful to anyone.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Neurobiology of 'We'?
Exploring the relationship of the brain and the mind has been incredibly helpful. It is somewhat like nature vs. nurture. How silly to separate one from the other or credit more attention to either. We are complex creatures equipped with the structure of our being made full by the intricacies of our individuality. This book beautifully marries both.
Have you listened to any of Daniel J. Siegel’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have read other books by Daniel Siegel. This is the first I have listened to. His presentation is engaging. Humor is appropriate and content is relevant. "The Whole Brain Child" is, perhaps, one of my favorites.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A Journey to Discovering the Mysteries of Self.
Any additional comments?
This book is certainly relevant to everyone. It is beneficial to have a working knowledge of the brain, its functions, and structure. Outside of that, Seigel does a competent job of exploring neurobiology, making it relevant to most.

I've been reading/listening to Siegel's works (Mindsight, the Whole Brain Child, No Drama Discipline and this book) for the last 2 years and in that short period of time, I was disappointed to observe the resemblance of content between "Mindsight" and this book until Chapter 6 and 7. At times, some lenghty examples (the veteran with PTSD, the AAI) gave me the impression of listening to the same seminar twice. I think the original story of this very book lies here: Siegel concentrates upon the 9 domains of interpersonal integration only towards the end of Chapter 6 and throughout Chapter 7. On the other hand, Siegel's audio performance is very natural as in a conversation, which made it very easy to concentrate upon while on the move. In short, I would highly recommend this book only if you have not read "Mindsight" yet.

Exactly what I was looking for!
Easy to understand. Daniel Siegel shares his knowledge about how the brain and mind work. It is an excellent book. I bought this to help better my understanding of others, mainly children.

He does it again....
Makes neurobiology accessible to all the people and includes the truly psychological soulful aspects of what it means for us to know these things about how our brain and neurological processes work. Thank you kind sir for sharing your work.

Complicated but valuable
Difficult to follow at times, as the content can run from very technical, heavily scientific into somewhat over simplifying the conclusions.
Some amazing insights about the brain and about our behaviours.

Dan Siegel makes it easy listening
I found Dan Siegel as narrator really easy listening. He may repeat himself but that's how it sticks in my mind. He is so knowledgeable about this area and it comes across. Easy to lose yourself in the narrative and the content. I will be listening again in the future.

Absolutely wonderful!
I'm a clinical psychologis. my job is my passion, so in my spare time I read a lot of stuff related to my field. There are literally many years since I've come across something as good as this. This is the puzzle that binds together every other theory of change I use in my practice. I highly recommend.

A very interesting book!
Some parts can be a bit hard to understand, specially if you do not work in this field and English is not your 1st language, but I found this book very interesting anyway.

Very slow
What would have made The Neurobiology of 'We' better?
It is a man talking asif he is stoned explaining everything solo slowly I couldn't bear it
Has The Neurobiology of 'We' put you off other books in this genre?
No, th genre is good. This book is not
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Daniel J. Siegel?
Yes, definitely, but it would be too autobiographical anyway
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Maybe some scientific truths but thats all
Any additional comments?
I regret spending the money, I'm sorry to say
