Willkommen zu meinem Energie-Reading fürNovember 2025

In this week's episode of Book Talk for BookTok, Jac and Amy sit down with Natasha Siegel, author of As Many Souls as Stars, a hauntingly beautiful sapphic romantasy inspired by the Faustus legend. Together, they explore how Natasha's background in historical fiction, romance, and Jewish-Danish heritage shaped her richly imagined world of love, loss, and the meaning of the soul. Through the lenses of literary analysis and character psychology, we unpack: How Natasha's research for Solomon's Crown and The Faithless informed her fantasy world-building The subversion of the Faustian Bargain trope and why Cybil's resistance makes the story unforgettable Why sapphic romance was essential—not optional—for the emotional truth of Miriam and Cybil's journey The book's exploration of humanity, identity, and transformation Which side characters Natasha wishes she could have written more of (and what might come next) If you love sapphic fantasy, queer romance, and emotionally charged romantasy with literary depth, this conversation is for you. As Many Souls as Stars combines feminine power, moral complexity, and lush romantic tension, making it a must-read for fans of T. Kingfisher, Samantha Shannon, and Alix E. Harrow. About the Guest: Natasha Siegel is a London-based author of historical fiction, fantasy, and romance. Her debut, Solomon's Crown, was a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice. Her latest, As Many Souls as Stars, reimagines the Faustus myth through a sapphic lens, blending moral temptation with tender humanity.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Marlene Siegel, an integrative veterinarian and passionate advocate for transforming the way we care for our pets. We dive deep into the powerful connection between pet health, environmental toxins, and family wellness — and why what we feed and expose our animals to matters just as much as what we do for ourselves. Dr. Siegel shares her personal story of how a crisis with her daughter's horse became the turning point that led her from traditional veterinary medicine to a holistic, root-cause approach. She outlines a clear six-step framework for creating a healthy environment for pets, from proper nutrition and clean water to detoxification, emotional health, and mitochondrial support. If you've ever wondered how your pet's health impacts your household or how to give them the best chance at a long, vibrant life, this conversation is packed with insight, tools, and hope. Key Takeaways: Why environmental toxins affect both pets and people. How raw, species-appropriate diets support longevity. The six-step process to reduce toxins and support healing. How emotional energy impacts your pet's health. INFO ABOUT DR. MARLENE SIEGEL Dr. Marlene Siegel helps pet parents and veterinarians find solutions when traditional medicine has nothing more to offer their patients. Committed to always offering solutions when others have given up has led Dr. Siegel to be an international lecturer, researcher for integrative veterinary technologies and a consultant. In addition to her full-time clinical practice, Dr. Siegel contributes her wealth of knowledge writing journal articles and participating in webinars and podcasts. She is a true pioneer with a special expertise in Ozone Therapy, Photodynamic Therapy, Detoxification, Lymphatic, Fascia, Hyperbaric and Energy Medicine. Her success in treating complex chronic dis-ease is attributed to her focus on BioRegulatory Medicine-identifying the root cause of disease and establishing safe and effective solutions. Dr. Siegel has developed online courses for pet parents and veterinarians. For pet parents, her course enables them to learn how to integrate a holistic lifestyle and therapies for their fur babies. Her online courses for veterinarians are focused on supporting vets who want to learn more about integrating alternative services into their mainstream practices. When she was unable to find proper diets and supplements to meet her patient needs, she developed her own raw food and essential supplements company and is preparing to launch S'Paws Family Wellness Centers which are detox centers for pets and their human parents.

Send us a textIn this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we sit down with Evan Siegel, Vice President of AI at eGain, where he leads the development of next-generation AI-powered conversational guidance. With a rich background that includes 16 years at Wells Fargo leading customer experience and contact center innovation, Evan brings deep insight into how technology can drive better service outcomes without losing the human touch.Evan's career journey began in entrepreneurship — running a successful residential painting business that grew to 300 employees before he sold it and pursued an MBA at Stanford. His experience at Wells Fargo honed his expertise in solving large-scale customer pain points and improving first-contact resolution in massive contact centers. Those experiences led him to eGain, a company dedicated to providing “the right answer to the right person at the right time, in the right channel.”Evan explains that eGain's AI-powered knowledge management platform helps companies clean, update, and centralize information so agents can quickly find accurate answers. This not only improves customer satisfaction but also transforms efficiency—some clients have seen up to 37% improvement in first-contact resolution, a 30-point rise in Net Promoter Score, and 50% reduction in training time. For instance, eGain supports the U.S. Veterans Administration, the country's largest healthcare provider, to deliver consistent, fast, and empathetic service across millions of interactions.A key theme in the discussion is balancing technology and empathy. Evan emphasizes that AI doesn't replace human connection—it enhances it by freeing up employees' mental space to focus on emotional intelligence and rapport-building. By handling the “how” of issue resolution, AI lets people focus on the “who.”He also shares how eGain builds knowledge bases for each company by analyzing customer inquiries, extracting top issues using AI, and rewriting existing materials to align with best practices for clarity and accessibility. This process—once lengthy and manual—can now be done in days or weeks.When asked about tools he can't live without, Evan points to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, which he uses daily as brainstorming and writing partners. His motto: “AI won't replace me, but someone who knows how to use AI better than me will.”Evan also discusses two books that shaped him: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, which taught him the power of genuine curiosity in relationships, and William Manchester's three-part biography of Winston Churchill, which inspired lessons in conviction, communication, and strategic thinking.Today, what excites Evan most is collaborative leadership—bringing teams together to brainstorm, check egos at the door, and make the best collective decisions. His guiding philosophy: “I don't need to be the smartest person in the room. I need to make the best decision coming out of the room.”He closes with another favorite quote: “You miss every shot you don't take.” For Evan, this embodies the spirit of innovation at eGain—experiment fast, learn fast, and keep improving.Listeners can connect with Evan on LinkedIn or email him at esiegel@egain.com to learn more about eGain's new AI self-service agent for small businesses, featuring reasoning capabilities, a free trial, and no-contract flexibility.Follow us on X @navigatingcx, and join our Navigating the Customer Experience Facebook community for more insights and resources.

People of Promise: Losing Our Way Speaker: Chad Vinson Location: Judges

**Sun Tzu at Gettysburg with Ralph Siegel | Addressing Gettysburg** In this episode of *Addressing Gettysburg*, guest Ralph Siegel invites you into a provocative thopught exercise: how and where were the principles of **Sun Tzu's *The Art of War** applied in the Battle of Gettysburg? Sun Tzu (5th century B.C.) is one of history's most influential strategists. His treatise *The Art of War* — a compact work of 13 chapters on strategy, deception, intelligence, terrain, and timing — has shaped military thinking for millennia. ([Wikipedia][1]) He emphasizes that “the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting,” and teaches lessons like striking where the enemy is weak, using deception, and the critical importance of knowing yourself and your enemy. ([Goodreads][2]) Meanwhile, the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1–3, 1863) stands among the most consequential clashes in American history. It resulted in massive casualties (over 50,000 combined) and marked a turning point in the Civil War, as Robert E. Lee's invasion of the North was repulsed and momentum shifted to the Union. ([American Battlefield Trust][3]) Over three brutal days, fighting raged across ridges, hills, and open fields — from McPherson's Ridge to Little Round Top, from Cemetery Hill to Pickett's Charge. ([National Park Service][4]) In this video, Ralph Siegel explores how key Sun Tzu maxims might have been applied (or misapplied) by Union generals like Meade and Confederate commanders like Lee or Longstreet. How might they have used terrain more cunningly, exploited intelligence (or lack thereof), feinted attacks, or avoided catastrophic frontal assaults? Could Pickett's Charge have been prevented or better supported by a more flexible, Sun Tzu-inspired doctrine?

On this last show, your favorite psychologists, John Gartner and Harry Segal, review Trump's bizarre speech in Quantico while explaining their decision to end the series. They are joined by Really American's Justin Horwitz, as well as two very good friends of the show, Laurie Winer (author and theatre critic) and Ahmed Babba, political commentator (ahmedbaba.news). Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio This feels like the last page in a long, intense book we never wanted to end, and here we are: Shrinking Trump has reached its final chapter. Dr. John Gartner and Dr. Harry Siegel sit together one last time, looking back on more than seventy episodes spent untangling the psychological knots in Donald Trump's presidency. What began as a clinical exercise soon revealed itself as an urgent civic project—mapping the anatomy of malignant narcissism, tracing the reckless impulses that drove one man to breach institutions again and again, and warning listeners that unchecked power corrodes the very heart of democracy.   Throughout this journey, Gartner and Siegel watched what started as performative chaos harden into a systematic assault on norms. They watched pathological lying give cover to authoritarian ambitions, charisma morph into control, and theatrical stunt after stunt erode the barriers meant to protect free speech and rule of law. They sat with experts like Dr. Vince Greenwood to peer under the hood of psychopathy, describing how impulsivity and a lack of remorse propel bold grabs for power—and leave gaping vulnerabilities in their wake. They examined the bitter aftershocks of tragedies manipulated for political gain, from the exploitation of Charlie Kirk's assassination to the steady drip of fear tactics aimed at silencing dissent.   They chronicled the stealthy rise of a media empire built on consolidation and influence, where once-independent newsrooms bent beneath the weight of billionaire agendas. They warned that as echo chambers spread and fact-based reporting shrank, the story of our country risked being rewritten by those who profit from confusion. Every week, Shrinking Trump gave listeners a pair of psychological glasses through which to see behind the spectacle: each emergency proclamation, each incendiary tweet, each courtroom drama wasn't just a headline—it was a symptom.   In this final conversation, Gartner and Siegel remind us that naming these symptoms remains our best defense against manipulation. Recognizing cognitive warning signs isn't armchair diagnosis; it's an act of democratic self-defense. They urge us to stay critical of the media we consume, to question the narratives packaged as truth, and to refuse the numbing allure of constant crisis. Even as they close this chapter, they make it clear that the work continues—because authoritarian tactics do not retire with a single series finale.   So let this be more than a goodbye. Let it be a call to carry forward every insight and warning, to keep alive the conversations that protect our shared values. Shrinking Trump may be signing off, but the fight for a better America goes on. Thank you for listening. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

People of Promise: Deliverance Speaker: Monty Waldron Location: Exodus 3, 4, 12

Your favorite shrinks, John Gartner and Harry Segal, begin their analysis of the week by watching Trump suffer through another terrible press conference by RFK, Jr. From not knowing how to say the generic name for Tylenol, to his claiming Cuba has no autistic children, Trump continues to make the kind of alarming mistakes everyone should be outraged about. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio The show opens by tracing a troubling arc in Donald Trump's behavior: what began as calculated showmanship has hardened into an overt play for control. Traits of malignant narcissism—grandiosity, a craving for unwavering loyalty—and authoritarian impulses have grown more pronounced since his first term. Each lie, each institutional assault, speaks less to shrewd strategy than to a compulsive need to dominate the narrative and erode the checks that protect democratic life. They turn next to a profound example of this dynamic: the political exploitation of Charlie Kirk's assassination. In the wake of that tragedy, rhetoric designed to stifle dissent has surged, with shock and fear wielded as blunt instruments to tarnish any voice labeled “left.” By framing grief as a cover for condemnation, the Trump administration reveals a classic tactic of control—manufacturing crisis to justify a tightening grip on speech, dissent, and public debate. But the most insidious move may be the deliberate consolidation of media power. Gartner and Siegel outline how conservative billionaires aligned with Trump have quietly scooped up news outlets and social platforms, twisting once-independent journalism into a mouthpiece for authoritarian propaganda. As independent investigative bodies shrink, echo chambers expand, and fact-based reporting gives way to curated spectacle, the foundation of informed consent begins to crack under the weight of concentrated influence. Into this fractured media ecosystem steps Dr. Vince Greenwood, offering a psychopathy lens on Trump's tactics. Greenwood underscores traits like impulsivity, emotional shallowness, and a glaring absence of remorse—qualities that have propelled Trump to outsized heights but also sow seeds of instability. He argues that these very characteristics, while enabling bold grabs for power, carry a predictable risk of self-sabotage. A misfired tweet, a rash decree or a scorched-earth feud could fracture alliances and expose the limits of unchecked authority. That possibility, Gartner and Siegel stress, is no reason for complacency. Recognizing these cognitive warning signs isn't idle armchair psychology—it's a civic responsibility. When the machinery of fear, misinformation, and media monopoly begins to hum, the cure lies in active vigilance. Question the sources asking for your trust, demand accountability from outlets once deemed impartial, and refuse to accept spectacle in place of substance. Ultimately, the path forward depends on our willingness to see beyond the performance. Shrinking Trump reminds us that every authoritarian playbook relies on confusion and emotional contagion. By sharpening our critical lens, cultivating honest conversations, and holding fast to democratic norms, we inoculate ourselves against manipulation. Tune in to this week's episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows to arm yourself with the insights needed to push back and preserve the open society we all depend on.

In this episode review (Season 14, Ep. 372), Andrea revisits interviews with Dr. Dan Siegel to explore Mindsight—the focused attention that helps us see and reshape our own minds and connect with others. She breaks down how Mindsight underpins social and emotional intelligence and offers practical ways to develop it, including theory-of-mind practice, the Wheel of Awareness, and daily narrative reading. This week, in our review of EP 28 with Daniel J. Siegel, MD  and his book Mindsight, we learned: ✔ A deeper definition of Mindsight or seeing the mind in another Mindsight, a term coined by Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, is the ability to perceive the mind within ourselves and others. It goes beyond simply observing behavior; it's about sensing thoughts, feelings, intentions, and perspectives that aren't immediately visible. This skill allows us to look beneath the surface of words and actions, to “see” the mind behind them, which leads to deeper empathy, better relationships, and stronger social intelligence. ✔ What is Theory of Mind and how can this skill help us to connect and understand others better Theory of Mind (ToM) is closely related to Mindsight—it refers to our ability to attribute mental states (beliefs, desires, knowledge, intentions) to ourselves and to others. In simple terms, it's recognizing that other people have thoughts and feelings that may be different from our own. This skill is essential for meaningful communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration, because it helps us predict how someone might react, understand why they feel a certain way, and respond with compassion rather than judgment. ✔ What is Theory of Mind and how can this skill help us to connect and understand others better Theory of Mind (ToM) is closely related to Mindsight—it refers to our ability to attribute mental states (beliefs, desires, knowledge, intentions) to ourselves and to others.

This skill is essential for meaningful communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration, because it helps us predict how someone might react, understand why they feel a certain way, and respond with compassion rather than judgment. ✔ Practical tips to improve our Mindsight or Theory of Mind abilities Pause and Reflect – Before reacting, ask yourself: What might this person be thinking or feeling right now? Name Emotions – Practice labeling your own emotions and noticing them in others (“I feel frustrated” → “They might be anxious”). Perspective-Taking Exercises – Put yourself in someone else's shoes: If I were in their position, what would I be experiencing? Read Fiction Regularly – Choose stories with complex characters and notice how your mind tracks their thoughts and motives. Practice Curiosity in Conversations – Instead of assuming, ask open-ended questions to better understand another's perspective. Mindfulness Training – Strengthen your awareness of your inner world, which improves your ability to tune into the inner world of others. The episode also emphasizes the importance of face-to-face relationships for learning and development, contrasts relational learning with screen-based approaches, and provides actionable tips educators and listeners can use to strengthen empathy, self-awareness, and relational skills. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Which brings up to today's episode #372, where we will take Dr. Dan Siegel's concept of Mindsight, to the next level. On our last EP 371 with Dan Siegel, PART 1 of our review of a very early interview EP 28[i], recorded in November 2019, we covered the importance of: Understanding and Applying Mindsight which is “the way we focus our attention on the internal world. It's how we bring consciousness to our own thoughts and feelings, and how we attune to the inner world of someone else. Mindsight gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others.” Mindsight is a concept Dr. Siegel felt to be critical for us to develop noting this skill to be “the basis for social and emotional development.” He notes, that it's a teachable set of skills that we can teach in school, and once mastered is a truly transformational tool.  In his book, Mindsight he explains this concept further: “Mindsight is a kind of focused attention that allows us to see the internal workings of our own minds. (and we've been talking about how important it is to go within, for true change in our lives to occur). It helps us to be aware of our mental processes without being swept away by them, (which) enables us to get ourselves off the autopilot of ingrained behaviors and habitual responses, and moves us beyond the reactive emotional loops we all have a tendency to get trapped in. It lets us “name and tame” the emotions we are experiencing, rather than being overwhelmed by them. Consider the difference between saying “I am sad” and “I feel sad.” Similar as those two statements may seem, there is actually a profound difference between them. “I am sad” is a kind of self-definition, and a very limiting one. “I feel sad” suggests the ability to recognize and acknowledge a feeling, without being consumed by it. The focusing skills that are part of mindsight make it possible to see what is inside, to accept it, and in the accepting to let it go, and, finally, to transform it into a NEW reality. You can also think of mindsight as a very special lens that gives us the capacity to perceive the mind with greater clarity than ever before. This lens is something that virtually everyone can develop, and once we have it we can dive deeply into the mental sea inside, exploring our own inner lives and those of others. A uniquely human ability, mindsight allows us to examine closely, in detail and in depth, the processes by which we think, feel, and behave. And it allows us to reshape and redirect our inner experiences so that we have more freedom of choice in our everyday actions, (giving us) more power to create the future, to become the author of our own story. Another way to put it is that mindsight is the basic skill that underlies everything we mean when we speak of having social and emotional intelligence.” (Dr. Daniel J Siegel, Mindsight, Location 105, Kindle Edition).

How do you transform unimaginable grief into a legacy of hope? Tim Siegel's journey from professional tennis courts to hospital rooms to nationwide advocacy offers a profound answer.After competing against tennis legends like John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl and coaching college tennis for 25 years, Tim made a pivotal decision in July 2015 to step down from his position at Texas Tech to spend more time with his children. Just twenty days later, his nine-year-old son Luke suffered a catastrophic brain injury in a golf cart accident."We were told Luke would never use his limbs, use his voice, or open his eyes," Tim shares with raw honesty. "But I always knew he would do more." For six years, Tim became Luke's primary caregiver, witnessing progress that defied medical expectations until Luke's passing from COVID in August 2021.From this devastating loss emerged Team Luke Hope for Minds, a foundation that has granted over half a million dollars annually to families of children with brain injuries. The organization provides financial assistance, education, support groups, and an annual conference that brings families together from across the country.What makes Tim's story even more remarkable is the widespread support from sports icons like Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes, Andre Agassi, and many others who have rallied behind his cause. Through his foundation, podcast, books, and speaking engagements, Tim shares his "seven inspirations from Luke" that guide his mission: find your passion, don't ever quit, lean on friends and family, make good choices, be careful, have faith, find forgiveness, and let a loved one's legacy live on through you.Visit teamlukehopeforminds.org to learn how you can support families affected by pediatric brain injuries and watch the documentary "Hope Beyond the Diagnosis" to see the foundation's impact firsthand.

Today's guest is Dr. Erika Siegel, an integrative physician, acupuncturist, author, speaker, and mom who has spent over two decades helping people transform their health through functional and naturopathic medicine. She founded Nourish Me Clinic in Portland, Oregon, and authored the two-volume set The Nourish Me Kitchen, blending science, self-care, and 300+ recipes. Erika's work centers on the foundations of vitality—nutrition, movement, restoration, and mindful living—taught through her clinical practice, retreats, books, and talks.“The kitchen can be the most sacred and practical healing space in our lives.”What we cover in this episodeReclaiming the kitchen as a healing space: how convenience culture broke our connection to food—and practical ways to restore it (organization tips, glass jars, “cook without a recipe” systems).Simple rituals that change everything: morning water with sea salt (plus lemon or ACV), “rescue” veggie broths, the family's comfort dal soup, and everyday tea medicine (mint/cardamom/fennel; ginger–turmeric–lemon for colds, inflammation, allergies).Women's health favorites: maca for vitality/stress adaptation, matcha for antioxidant support and estrogen clearance, ground flax for hormones and bowel health, cranberry and cardamom for the urinary tract.Intuition + science: the real art of medicine is weaving labs, research, and the human in front of us—“bodies don't read textbooks.”Nature as non-negotiable: from barefoot tea on the lawn to “can you get to the beach for a day?”—why nervous system resets accelerate healing.Parenting & nourishment: invite kids into the kitchen (even if it's messy), model joyful movement anywhere (yes, push-ups at the airport).Origin story & prevention: how her father's heart attack at 49 turned the family toward prevention and led Erika to holistic, functional care.Mindset shifts: dissolving limiting beliefs, self-advocacy in health, and celebrating small wins that change the trajectory.Resources & where to find ErikaBooks: The Nourish Me Kitchen (two-volume set) — available in print and as a combined digital edition.Website: nourishme.com (articles, interviews, book info).If this episode resonates, please share it and tag @Gateways_To_Awakening.

One of your favorite psychologists, Harry Segal, is back to describe and interpret Trump's strange behaviors this week, from his tone-deaf response to the Epstein-Maxwell victims to his mysterious medical symptoms. Since John Gartner is on assignment, Ahmed Baba, columnist, journalist, and frequent pundit on cable news, sits in as Harry's guest co-host. (Check out his bestselling Substack newsletter: AhmedBaba.News.) And be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio They dive straight into Trump's two recent court defeats—one over tariffs, another over immigration restrictions—and ask why he keeps dragging outdated laws back into the spotlight. Rather than solving real problems, these lawsuits feel like rehearsals for the next manufactured crisis, with each loss chipping away at his claims of unchecked authority. They turn next to ICE raids and Trump's fiery rhetoric about cities like Chicago. When Governor J.B. Pritzker publicly rebuked the suggestion of federal troops on Illinois soil, Baba unpacks the political calculations and racial undertones driving that showdown. It becomes clear this tug-of-war isn't just about policy; it's about how power is flexed when constitutional guardrails start feeling optional. The episode also confronts Trump's lingering ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Survivors and advocates are demanding the release of Epstein's files, yet Trump brushed the whole scandal off as a hoax—an impulsive reaction that only deepens doubts about his judgment. With approval ratings sagging, Siegel and Baba trace how these knee-jerk defenses betray deeper cognitive strains, calling into question Trump's ability to respond thoughtfully under pressure. Through it all, Shrinking Trump never loses sight of its mission: to spotlight the mind games at work and equip us for the battles ahead. By naming the psychological warning signs—whether it's crisis-manufacturing lawsuits or off-the-cuff dismissals of serious allegations—we reclaim a degree of clarity in a chaotic political landscape. Listening here isn't just about critique; it's about shoring up our own defenses and reminding ourselves why democratic norms matter.

In this episode Andrea revisits her 2019 conversation with Dr. Daniel J. Siegel to explore Mindsight — his science-based approach to understanding the mind, integrating the brain, and cultivating empathy. Dr. Siegel explains the difference between mind and brain, the benefits of the Wheel of Awareness meditation, and how Mindsight can change brain structure and improve health. Watch full interview here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7pnea2Vbzc Practical tips include daily Mindsight practice, naming emotions to build self-awareness, and simple emotional check-ins to make learning and relationships more meaningful. This week, in our review of EP 28 with Daniel J. Siegel, MD  and his book Mindsight, we learned: ✔ The Difference Between the Mind and the Brain. ✔  The Benefits of The Wheel of Awareness Meditation. ✔ How to Understand and Apply Mindsight that gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others. ✔ How Mindsight can change brain structure and improve health. ✔ In order to make teaching and learning more meaningful, what we are teaching must have an element of emotion. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience.

We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Episode 371: For today's Episode 371, we continue our journey into the mind with the next interview review. Just a reminder-this review series began back with Episode 366[i], where in Part 3 we discovered an important lesson: if we don't like our results—or what we see on the outside—we need to shift our mindset and look within. True change always begins on the inside.   EP 369[ii] we learned how to Rewire our Brain with Dr. Dawson Church and his Bliss Brain Meditations, and then last week, EP 370[iii] with John Medina's Brain Rules, we reviewed how important this understanding of neuroscience is, especially connected to education, teaching and learning. Which brings us to today's review, EP 371, where we revisit a very early episode with clinical professor of psychiatry from UCLA's School of Medicine, Dr. Daniel J Siegel. He's from EP 28[iv], that was recorded back in November of 2019. As we take this journey deeper into the mind, Dr. Dan Siegel offers the perfect place to begin, with his ability to bridge cutting-edge neuroscience and practical wisdom. Dr. Dan Siegel, is well known for his books, trainings and courses that bridge cutting edge neuroscience with mindfulness and therapy. A reminder of his background-he's a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and executive director of the Mindsight Institute[v] where you can find his courses, workshops, books and tools to help anyone understand and apply what can sometimes be complicated scientific concepts and make them easy to understand and applicable to our daily lives. At the end of the interview, I let Dr. Siegel know that I had been practicing his Wheel of Awareness Meditation, and ended up reviewing what I learned on EP 60[vi] where we explored the Science Behind a Meditation Practice. You can watch the whole interview by clicking on the link in the resource section in the show notes, and learn all about Dr. Siegel's work that encompasses schools, with resiliency, brain science and helping our next generation to understand how to apply these important strategies whether it's in our classrooms, or workplaces of the future. Today we will continue to explore within, sharpen our mindset, and learn about what Dr. Siegel calls Mindsight. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch In Clip 1, Dr. Siegel unpacks the concept of Mindsight and helps clarify the difference between the mind and the brain, when I asked him to explain this distinction. I knew this wasn't an easy question—as I had already listened to him answer it many times over the years, and still wasn't sure I fully grasped it. In fact, I even tried to tackle it myself back in Episode 23[vii], Understanding Your Brain and Mind for Increased Results. But revisiting this topic now, I can see this concept requires a much deeper reflection. So, I asked Dr. Siegel if we could look at his definition of the mind—one he has been studying for years and that many in his scientific and educational circles agree on. He describes the mind as “an embodied and relational process—since it's in the body and it's in our relationships with one another—that regulates the flow of energy and information.” I wanted to hear him expand on this again, especially around why relationships are so critical for our health, our well-being, and for creating what he calls an integrated brain—which he equates with a healthy brain. His answer helped me to understand the importance of implementing Mindsight into our daily life. He said: “The word mind doesn't actually have a formal definition—not in education, psychotherapy, or even in fields like psychology that study it directly. But if we look closely, the mind includes your subjective experience—that inner feeling of being alive. It also includes consciousness—the ability to know that you're having that subjective experience. And beyond that, there's information processing—which doesn't always require consciousness and is essentially what school focuses on: learning to process information. When you understand the mind as a self-organizing process—a complex system that regulates its own becoming—you begin to see the power of teaching about the mind itself. This is what we call Mindsight. And if we could bring this understanding into education, the outcomes for students would be profoundly different.” Key Tip 1 with Dr. Dan Siegel Understanding and Applying Mindsight which is “the way we focus our attention on the internal world. It's how we bring consciousness to our own thoughts and feelings, and then next,  how we attune to the inner world of someone else. Mindsight gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others.”

People of Promise: Created for Life! Speaker: Jeff Patton

Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Tim Siegel, co-founder of Team Luke Hope for Minds, for a powerful father-to-father conversation about brain injury, hope, and turning tragedy into purpose.
