Now...Let's reflect upon who Dr. Siegel is and his level of dedication as indicated in the TEDx credentials: explores the neural mechanisms beneath social and emotional intelligence and how these can be cultivated through reflective practices that focus on the inner nature of the mind.

before reading Dr. Siegel's micro-bio, just watch or listen to this TEDx presentation. Though about our 6 year old son and how our family is living on the Autism Spectrum.

[EnjoyHi5Autism]

Enjoyed taking in the AUDIO initial then the VISUAL of this TEDx video. Try simply listening without watching Dr. Siegel. Then, when he asks us to watch to reflect on our reaction to him, then look at the video screen. Sharing on EnjoyHi5Autism micro-blogs.

Hi5! After an arduous day, Dr. Siegel relaxed my mind. Sharing this Tedx on EnjoyHi5Autism social networks.

For those interested in how you can use mindsight in everyday life, check out some of Dan's upcoming talks. He's got one on building resilience in relationships and another on mindsight itself. You can find them on psychalive

@vikingbrute either read the works of Richard davidson on neuroplasticity and contemplative practices and/or watch the google tech talk with him. I'm sure he didn't have time to give you a lesson on neuroscience.

This work is really important!

I love his experiments at the end.

[Vikingbrute]

....I get the point of what he was trying to communicate and do not disagree with a need to incorporate a more balanced approach in educating the whole human organism, but after his 16 minute lecture with zero examples or actual facts profferred, i am nonplussed. This lecture would never make the cut at an actual TED conference. Dust it off and try again 'Dr.' Siegel.

[Vikingbrute]

Out of 100 plus TED talks i've watched, this one has the least actual information.  He speaks like a politician, stringing colorful 'catch' phrases together that have very little actual content. Makes declarative statements with no verification or follow through. "our brains are 'literally' in a prison. m'kay?"

@Vikingbrute

If you need this oresentation prescribed to you then it obviously doesnt apply to you. "Horses for courses"

Siegel articulated quite well alot of what I feel and think and further in the field of trying to break the cycle of dependency he is spot on.

Really interesting. Soem of you may also be interested in Daniel Goleman's talk with authors@google

Neural integration is the heart of health... 10:20 in your body, in your mind, not just in our relationships with one another but with the whole planet. Three irreducible elements of well being... brain, mind, relationships.

Should be watched by all.

Thanks for posting this excellent, important talk! I love Daniel Siegel's work, and this talk is a great overview. I'd love to hear him talk further about whether any schools are dealing with the other three R's, and what parents can do to help their children develop more mindsight.
