Abstract:
Part I. The path to well-being: mindsight illuminated. A broken brain, a lost soul: the triangle of well-being -- Minding the brain: the brain in the palm of your hand -- Crepes of wrath: mindsight lost and found -- Minding the brain: neuroplasticity
in a nutshell -- Leaving the ether dome: where is the mind? -- Minding the brain: riding the resonance circuits -- The complexity choir: discovering the harmony of health. Part II. The power to change: mindsight in action. A roller-coaster mind: strengthening the hub of awareness -- Half a brain in hiding: balancing left and right -- Cut off from the neck down: reconnecting the mind and the body -- Prisoners of the past: memory, trauma, and recovery -- Making sense of our lives: attachment and the storytelling brain -- Our multiple selves: getting in touch with the core -- The neurobiology of "we": becoming advocates for one another -- Time and tides: confronting uncertainty and mortality -- Epilogue: widening the circle: expanding the self.

Inspiring and informative, "Mindsight" offers exciting new proof that people aren't hardwired to behave in certain ways, but instead have the ability to harness the power of their minds to resculpt the neural pathways of their brains.
