The Developing Mind, Third Edition

How Relationships and the Brain Interact to Shape Who We Are

By: Daniel J. Siegel M.D.

Narrated by: Fred Stella

This highly influential work - now in a revised and expanded third edition incorporating major advances in the field - gives clinicians, educators, and students a new understanding of what the mind is, how it grows, and how to promote healthy development and resilience.

Daniel J. Siegel synthesizes cutting-edge research from multiple disciplines, revealing the ways in which neural processes are fundamentally shaped by interpersonal relationships throughout life. And even when early experiences are not optimal, building deeper connections to other people and to one's own internal experience remains a powerful resource for growth. Professors praise the book’s utility in courses from developmental psychology and child development to neuroscience and counseling.

Begins good but shifts to ideology

Very interesting theory of the mind. As the book progresses, the author increasingly violates his own principles of chaos and rigidity to accommodate an ideology. The premise subtly shifts to the unsupported premises of the ideology while given the suggestion that the neuroscience is still the fundamental premise. I wonder if earlier additions were less influenced by the ideology of the research assistants and possibly the author.

Amazing!

Full of wisdom, insight and knowledge. Technical at times, but with some patience, fully accessible. A great read for anyone interested in learning more about themselves and the world.

Outstanding

A must read for educators and religious who can use the techniques and suggestions to guide our children/people to their full potential.
