In this book, Daniel J. Siegel and Marion F. Solomon have gathered
leading writers to discuss such topics as: attention, resilience, and
mindfulness; neuroplasticity--how the brain changes its function and
structure in response to experience; "loving awareness" as the
foundation for mindful living; how mindfulness training can help build
empathy and compassion in clinicians; self-compassion; addictions; using
breath practice to cultivate well-being; tools for clients who feel
disconnected; "therapeutic presence"--how we show up for our clients,
how we embody being aware and receptive. The latest entry in the
acclaimed Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology, this book brings
fresh voices to the all-important topics of meditation, mental training,
and consciousness.
Mind, Consciousness, and Well-Being offers a unique window into the
science and art of taking our understanding of the mind and
consciousness and applying it to cultivating well-being in our personal
lives and our professional work.
