About this item

If you think your brain and mind are one, think again. According to the interpersonal neurobioligy 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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the best

    The best of the best. Very thorough and detailed and he moves along quickly although he speaks to 'us' like we are sitting there at a table sharing a cup of tea." He explains well and in a very orderly fashion (building up and up and up). He is very humane, caring, real (even though he is a psychiatrist). He seem(ed) as fed up with the traditional medical system of training and focus of providing 'health care' (when he was told not to ask a patient how they were feeling - as that wasn't their job - as an MD . . . really?) - so he went his own way and developed this incredible teaching program for all of us - I cannot recommend this highly enough. Even though I have some training in counseling and felt I was - or am - psychological oriented and astute (i.e. know the jargon or most of it, understanding behavioral patterns, neuron firing, etc,), this is more than a bit over my head, but I love it anyway. I just need to listen to it over and over again. With aging, I find it difficult to focus - and if I stray even for 10-15 seconds, I will lose important segments - to where he is going. It is around 5 or 6 CDs - well worth it. NEEDS TO BE IN THE LIBRARY OF EVERY LICENSED THERAPIST, COACH, GUIDE, and for those into self-healing and understanding. My therapist friend recommended it to me. He is good people.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Into a world of how we create who we become
    Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2010
    For anyone who would like a wonderful experience into the workings of the social and internal mind/brain/relationship process. This is an excellent audio book by: Daniel Siegel, MD. Not only is it an excellent listen for the professional but anyone who is interested in learning the neuroscience of relationship. Sounds technical? A bit but Dan ties the pieces of science to a working - in the world of relationship model - together. His voice is captivating and I felt connected to him and the information right away. It is a must read for anyone in the professional world of Psychiatry and Psychology as well as teachers or any kind. This has no far reaching limits to who can benefit. If you want to be more effective about the impact you have on people you meet - as you heal the ways in which people affected you along the way - how these experiences actually create who we become - then this book is for you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging and Fascinating
    Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2010
    I am very happy with my purchase. The author is engaging in his easy conversational tones for delivery, bringing amusing imagery to his examples. He has a knack for explaining very complicated ideas that the average listener can follow and understand (most of the time). Yet the details are technical enough that I believe professionals who work in fields related to human behavior can gain useful insights as well.

    I have listened to the CD's once and learned quite a bit about how the brain functions, how it develops, and how critical this is to our behavior and how we interact in the world. I am glad I own the CDs as it is something I look forward to listening to again and again, gaining additional insights and a greater understanding of the subject with each listen, and sharing the CDs (and ideas) with others.

    Listening to this in an audiobook, the narration is really helpful as the author helps it to make sense. Its dense material, I have had to rewind a couple times and listen again. Its worth it to listen I'm genuinely coming to understand much about my life and my own psyche.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love listening to this book! Have listened to it twice. Definitely worth buying.

    One of the best books I have listened to about relationship and communication in a long time. I wish it can in a book form. There are many pages that I would dog ear for future references. I am not a therapist. Daniel Siegel is not only well spoken but he communicates in way that keep the listeners interests.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2010
    This set of seven CDs is a great summary of a neuroscience approach to attachment theory and social relationships. Covering everything from an introduction to cognitive science to attachment theory and mindful awareness, it is elegantly informative in a casual way. I plan to listen to it again as soon as I am finished with the first go-around (I am just beginning session 7). Very highly recommended!

    5.0 out of 5 stars great foundation training!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2010
    I listened straight through all discs in the series. It is a well-organized, engaging introduction to interpersonal neurobiology. I found it helpful to re-listen to parts, especially when learning new terms or trying to picture what he was describing. Understandable, enjoyable and educational. Loved it and would recommend it to anyone wanting a general understanding of the new brain science.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Information
    Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2009
    This is a wonderful program! If you are into learning about the interaction of the brain and relationships this will give you a ton of information. Dan is an excellent communicator and brilliant scientist. Caution this is not for the light listener. You need to seriously want to learn about this, because it is a lot of information.
