‘We know so much about what’s outside in the Cosmos, billions of
light years away but very little about what’s going on inside our
heads right now. We know about dark matter but not so much about
grey matter, which I would think, matters most. Daniel Siegel
finally gives us insight into who we are, how we work and most
important of all how to retrain and change our minds. For me,
almost every line is an ‘aha’ moment. At long last, someone nails
what it is to have a healthy mind and if you don’t have one, how to
get one.’
