great insights into interface of mindfulness and social awareness (and "attachment' theory) leading towards a multi-skull social brain perspective.

particular breakthrough findings on nine functions of prefrontal cortex

clear plainspoken prose style, well-organized ( )

While Siegel's work isn't the easiest to read, this book presents compelling motivation to practice mindfulness. ( )

Dan Siegel reflects on studies of mindful awareness practices such as meditation's positive changes in brain and behaviour. Mindful awareness is shown to improve self awareness, self regulation, attention, relationships, self compassion. Changes correlating with improved behaviour or perceived well-being are seen in the "middle" prefrontal cortex areas of the brain. Some speculation on current research on "mirror neurons". ( )

Read but need to reread carefully. Seems to be an important contribution to understanding the science of meditation, but definitely misses out on the body stuff (see heartmath research).
