The Yes Brain - Dr. Dan Siegel [109]

Описание: Hunter talks to Dr. Dan Siegel about The Yes Brain.

Some big takeaways from this episode include:

1. Learning the importance of a “yes” brain - receptive, present, and open versus the reactivity and rigidity of the “no” brain.

2. We can build resilience in our children by teaching kids what it feels like to be in the “yes” brain mode and widen their window of tolerance for uncomfortable feelings.

3. We can use our minds to actually change the brain’s function and structure.

Dan Siegel is known as a mindfulness expert and for his work developing the field of Interpersonal Neurobiology. Dr. Siegel is Founding Co-Director of the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center. He has written five parenting books, including the three New York Times bestsellers Brainstorm; The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline, and Parenting from the Inside Out with Mary Hartzell. Dr. Siegel's unique ability to make complicated scientific concepts exciting and accessible has led him to be invited to everyone from Pope John Paul II to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. His latest book is The Yes Brain: How to Cultivate Courage, Curiosity, and Resilience in Your Child with Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D. Learn more at DrDanSiegel.com.
