Book Description
Most of us on this site lead very stressful lives, largely from dealing with the strong emotions of a PWBPD. We can all benefit from learning ways to help understand and relieve that stress, and this book is a very good tool for that purpose.

Mindsight is a potent skill that is the basis for both emotional and social intelligence. It is an integration of brain science and psychotherapy, and it explains techniques of mindful thinking that can actually improve our brain's hardwired programming.

":)rawing upon and explaining the intricate workings of the brain, Dr. Daniel Siegel shows how we can change our dysfunctional habits of mind, and become more flexible, adaptive, coherent, energized, and stable. A must read for anyone who wishes to have a happy more productive life." ~ Gene Beresin, Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

"An exciting exploration of how a troubled mind can right itself" ~ Publishers Weekly
