Dr. Daniel Siegel - The Gift of the Teenage Brain

Lasting Love Connection Podcast

Dr. Daniel Siegel is renowned for his work in interpersonal neurobiology. His contribution to the research of mindfulness is incredible. He is a leader in merging mindfulness and science together in a way that nobody else has.

In this episode I discuss with Dr. Daniel Siegel his most recent book, “Brainstorm: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain.” The book highlights the positive qualities of being a teen—such as seeking novelty, a deep desire for experiences, curiosity, and big dreams.

It also explains in some basic scientific terms how the teen brain is wired, re-wiring, and growing. As a mentor for many teenagers, it was helpful to read the book to gain a deeper insight as to how I can listen, coach, and mentor the teens in my life.

In our interview we also go into what Dr. Daniel Siegel calls, Mindsight. A powerful method to help teens, parents, and individuals find more peace, calm introspection, and a deeper sense of groundedness in life.
