Description
This groundbreaking new book from New York Times bestselling author Daniel J. Siegel introduces readers to his pioneering, science-based meditation practice.
Aware provides practical instruction for mastering the Wheel of Awareness, a life-changing tool for cultivating more focus, presence, and peace in one's day-to-day life.
An in-depth look at the science that underlies meditation's effectiveness, this book teaches readers how to harness the power of the principle 'Where attention goes, neural firing flows, and neural connection grows.' Siegel reveals how developing a Wheel of Awareness practice to focus attention, open awareness, and cultivate kind intention can literally help you grow a healthier brain and reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in your life.
Whether you have no experience with a reflective practice or are an experienced practitioner, Aware is a hands-on guide that will enable you to become more focussed and present, as well as more energised and emotionally resilient in the face of stress and the everyday challenges life throws your way.
"This is a Dan Siegel masterpiece. He integrates decades of science and wisdom about the nature of our mind and optimal wellbeing into an easy to read personal journey. At the cornerstone is 'The Wheel of Awareness,' a simple yet profound visual map of the mind, which enables people, including children, to experience of presence, self knowledge, and compassion. Aware will awaken and enrich your life immeasurably!"
—Elissa Epel, professor at UCSF, member of the National Academy of Science, co-author of New York Times bestseller The Telomere Effect
"Aware enables you to successfully search inside yourself to cultivate wellbeing and a deeper understanding of the mind with an exciting new approach to meditation. The Wheel of Awareness provides a comprehensive, science-based way to develop the focused attention, open awareness, and kind intention that research reveals can help bring health and resilience into your life."
—Chade-Meng Tan, New York Times bestselling author of Joy on Demand and Search Inside Yourself
"Dan is a brilliant integrator and Aware is a visionary blend of neuroscience, physics and cutting edge psychology combined with creative approaches to mindfulness and compassion. The practice of the Wheel brings together many skilful and wise elements of meditation, all rolled into one."
—Jack Kornfield, author of The Wise Heart and No Time Like the Present
