Review
“The book is a fascinating and lively guide, which engages the reader on many levels . . . . You can turn to any page of the book and find an access point to explore a web of integrated knowledge.” (Journal of Analytical Psychology (UK))
“Many have explored the nature of mental life, yet no interdisciplinary approach has existed to address its issues or even define what the mind is. This book offers a new way of assessing how the mind works.” (Midwest Book Review)
“Siegel’s book does an amazing job reflecting his vast knowledge of how our brains and our relationships interact to shape our lives.” (PsychCentral)

This book is organized to have three hierarchical levels of division. Each level can be viewed as being an interconnected network of topics. Each node within the network provides entry to a separate topic.
The first level of the network is the book's individual 43 short chapters. The second level comprises 158 topics. These topics are listed at the very end of the book in a section titled Nodal Network. The third level has almost 400 nodes. These are keywords which link to the book's extensive annotated glossary. These keywords include all secondary nodes, plus about 240 additional concepts or processes. Dan Siegel views these other 240 network nodes as providing background for understanding.
From the point of view of someone who is not familiar with neurological research like me, these additional 240 concepts are absolute necessities. Without understanding them, much of the chapter text would be incomprehensible. For me the tertiary level of organization is necessary to getting a reward from this book.
A Kindle makes easy the task of moving from text to glossary; and back again. The procedure is: When reading a chapter I encounter a keyword that I don't understand. Using the moving cursor I select the keyword and push the "Enter" key. Rapidly the screen changes. At the top of the new screen is a glossary explanation for the keyword. After reading the explanation, I press the "Back" key to return to the chapter text I am reading. This process provides an almost seamless experience of reading.
In this way I match my reading of each sentence to my current ability to understand. An expert might seldom need to use glossary entries. In contrast I often use glossary explanations. The choice is yours.
This book is a unique contribution to the understanding of how our minds, brains and relationships develop and interrelate. Although titled a pocket guide, (you will need a big pocket) it is actually an incredible and rich resource for exploring this new territory.
Dr Dan Siegel is well known as a gifted researcher and writer in the growing field of understanding what the mind actually is and what is consciousness. In his clear and inventive way he created and named the field of interpersonal neurobiology. This field explores the science of how mind and consciousness actually develop within the world of social interactions.
Understanding the complexity of how our minds form and function and interrelate with others is critically important to improving our capacity to function in the world and our own personal growth as emphatic beings. Although there are many books trying to explain this new field, this book is a special guide to these topics.
In many ways he ventures into areas that we know exist, take for granted but don't truly understand. We know we can be "aware" of things and that we have feelings and emotions, but what is really going on? What actually is awareness? And how does it work? What is a thought? What is consciousness? and how are these all interrelated? And how does one person's being truly affect the mind and being of another.
Neuroscience is giving us new tools and information about the nature of the brain and the mind. Dr Siegel has written several books and speaks often on the importance of developing an understanding of how our minds work. (See his web site for more info and videos drdansiegel.
