"Freud’s theory of the unconscious and Darwin’s model of evolution continue to help us understand the findings from current research on human behavior and some of the mysteries of our daily lives. Daniel Siegel’s theory of Mindsight— the brain’s capacity for both insight and empathy—offers a similar 'Aha!' He makes sense for us out of the cluttered confusions of our sometimes maddening and messy emotions."
- Daniel Goleman
Author of Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence
“Dan Siegel’s Mindsight lecture series achieves a rare combination of beauty and knowledge. Dan is a natural storyteller. The lectures are both an accessible guide into understanding the human mind and an eloquent examination of relationships that are scientifically accurate and understandable to the lay clinician.”
