About this listen

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?

In this book, noted neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., brings his characteristic sensitivity and interdisciplinary background to this most perplexing of topics. He explores the nature of the who, how, what, why, and when of your mind - of your self - from the perspective of neuroscience. Mind is the essence of our true nature, our deepest sense of being alive, here, right now, in this moment. How science explains it is truly one of the most exciting journeys into knowledge we can take.

The science of spirituality

An excellent thoughtful deep dive into the mind and how to achieve wellness. It's very refreshing to hear spiritual ideas broken down and analysed from the perspective of science.

I found it to be a bit of a struggle at times as there is a lot of repetition. I felt the message could have been delivered in half the time. However, the content was so valuable this issue didn't reduce my score and I would recommend it in a heartbeat to those interested in the topic.

A journey into the depths of consciousness

As I dove into the world of neurological development in early childhood, the name Professor Dan Siegel kept surfacing in my research. Intrigued, I decided to listen to this audiobook to grasp his ideas before exploring his more practical advice in other works. What I discovered was nothing short of remarkable!

This book is the most comprehensive exploration of the nature of the mind that I have ever encountered. Siegel delves into the intricate workings of consciousness, making it an essential listen for anyone who has pondered the profound questions about what occurs within us—inside our heads, within our bodies, and in our relationships—every moment of our lives. It addresses the very essence of what makes us aware of being alive and human.

The only critique I have is that the introduction seems overly focused on persuading listeners that the rest of the book will be valuable and engaging. This might stem from Siegel's academic background, where addressing skepticism is often necessary. However, anyone who invests in this book is likely already interested and eager to absorb his insights, making such reassurances somewhat redundant.

Overall, I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone grappling with the big questions of existence—it's a thought-provoking journey that will enrich your understanding of the mind and its connection to being human.
