Scientists, clinicians, and mindfulness teachers discuss training the mind to bring more health and resiliency to our lives.

In this book, Daniel J. Siegel and Marion F. Solomon have gathered leading writers to discuss such topics as:

  • attention, resilience, and mindfulness
  • neuroplasticity—how the brain changes its function and structure in response to experience
  • “loving awareness” as the foundation for mindful living
  • how mindfulness training can help build empathy and compassion in clinicians
  • self-compassion
  • addictions
  • using breath practice to cultivate well-being
  • tools for clients who feel disconnected
  • “therapeutic presence”—how we show up for our clients, how we embody being aware and receptive

The latest entry in the acclaimed Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology, this book brings fresh voices to the all-important topics of meditation, mental training, and consciousness.

Mind, Consciousness, and Well-Being offers a unique window into the science and art of taking our understanding of the mind and consciousness and applying it to cultivating well-being in our personal lives and our professional work.

Contributors include Pat Ogden, Shauna Shapiro, Bonnie Goldstein, Trudy Goodman Kornfield, Jack Kornfield, Kristin Neff, Judson Brewer, Gary Small, Amishi Jha, and more.
