Dr. Siegel is a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, the founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center at UCLA, and the Executive Director of the Mindsight Institute, an educational organization, which focuses on how the development of mindsight in individuals, families and communities can be enhanced by examining the interface of human relationships and basic biological processes.

He is the author of several bestselling books, including: The Mindful Brain, Mind: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human, Aware, and Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation.

His most recent book: “Intraconnected” combines the best of Indigenous wisdom traditions and modern science to show how we can shift our felt sense of identity and conceptualised sense of self away from an isolated ego, into one that is deeply connected to everything, and everyone in the world around us.

This conversation covers some of the key themes of the book, including:

— An accident Dan experienced as a young man that shattered his personal sense of identity and dramatically altered his worldview, life, and work to this day.

— The Wheel of Awareness and how this incredible tool can help you tap into the quantum realm and turn potentiality into actuality

— Dr Siegel’s ‘MWe’ concept which combines the best wisdom from Eastern and Western traditions - enabling those who embrace it to increase their connectedness to others, while maintaining their individuality.

And more.
