Mindsight: The New Science of Transformation

A groundbreaking book on the healing power of "mindsight," the potent skill that is the basis for both emotional and social intelligence. Mindsight allows you to make positive changes in your brain–and in your life.
Is there a memory that torments you, or an irrational fear you can't shake?
Do you sometimes become unreasonably angry or upset and find it hard to calm down?
Do you ever wonder why you can't stop behaving the way you do, no matter how hard you try?
Are you and your child (or parent, partner, or boss) locked in a seemingly inevitable pattern of conflict?
