Product Description
This book goes beyond the nature and nurture divisions that traditionally have constrained much of our thinking about development, exploring the role of interpersonal relationships in forging key connections in the brain. Daniel J. Siegel presents a groundbreaking new way of thinking about the emergence of the human mind and the process by which each of us becomes a feeling, thinking, remembering individual. Illuminating how and why neurobiology matters, this book is essential reading for clinicians, educators, researchers, and students interested in human experience and development across the life span br

The Developing Mind November 16, 2008
This book is very compelling reading. It explains how the brain develops and the way that a child's interactions impact and shape the brain's development. As a Social Worker I found it very interesting to apply to some of the abused kids that I work with, as this book shows how brain development is impaired by abuse. Pretty deep and hard to understand for the lay person but overall the best out there on this subject. Highly recommended!

State of the art on the brain, as of today... December 17, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book is a great summary on the current understanding of the brain and the nervous system, and how it can only be looked at as a whole, anything else will only limit the understanding to temporary symptoms. For a non-brain expert, this book is definitely not an easy read, I would read 2-4 pages at once and then take a few days to digest it. I know I will re-read it again, there is so much material in there.br /This book opened the door to finally having an idea of what it was that has been going on in my mind since childhood, unlocked the integration of my experiences, to heal and become my true self.

Dr Siegel has mastered the art of weaving the story of how experience wires brain tissue. Your character is the result of interactions with people and experiences that shaped your brain. Your unique experiences help shape your eating-brain: determining the desire for comfort foods, cravings and how often you feel the urge to eat. "Retrain your Brain Reshape your Body" provides specific brain-based tools made up of pleasant experiences that help rewire the adult eating-brain in reverse: away from old patterns of cravings and compulsive overeating, allowing you to stick to your weight loss program and achieve a healthy weight.

I'm not brilliant, nor am I stupid. I am a doctoral level psychologist who has read many books on neurophysiology, memory, cognition, attachment, etc. I regret having bought and read this book. It is repetitive, repetitive, repetitive. If you take out the repetition, it doesn't say much that is new. Largely, we don't know, we can hypothesize, we need more research.
