Becoming Aware

a 21-day mindfulness program for reducing anxiety and cultivating calm
Daniel J. Siegel

Praise for Aware:

‘Dan is a brilliant integrator and Aware is a visionary blend of neuroscience, physics, and cutting edge psychology combined with creative approaches to mindfulness and compassion. The practice of the Wheel brings together many skilful and wise elements of meditation, all rolled into one.’

Jack Kornfield, author of The Wise Heart and No Time Like the Present

Praise for The Power of Showing Up:

‘Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson have written their best book yet — and that is saying a lot. They have distilled their parenting wisdom — based on neuroscience research and a deep empathy for children’s needs — into a profound concept: showing up. It is one of those great ideas that seems so obvious — but only after someone has shown it to you and spelled it out clearly. Best of all, Siegel and Bryson “show up” for the reader of this book. They know parents, know their fears and anxieties, hopes and dreams. They know that showing up for children is harder than it sounds, and they provide an accessible path to seeing and soothing children and providing them with safety and security.’

Lawrence J. Cohen, PhD, author of Playful Parenting

**Praise for Aware:**‘This is a Dan Siegel masterpiece. He integrates decades of science and wisdom about the nature of our mind and optimal well-being into an easy to read personal journey. At the cornerstone is “The Wheel of Awareness,” a simple yet profound visual map of the mind, which enables people, including children, to experience of presence, self knowledge, and compassion. Aware will awaken and enrich your life immeasurably!’

Elissa Epel, professor at UCSF, member of the National Academy of Science, co-author of New York Times bestseller The Telomere Effect

A hands-on user’s guide that takes readers step-by-step on a 21-day journey to discover what it means to be truly present and aware in our daily lives.

In today’s increasingly fast-paced world it can be difficult to find moments to catch your breath, regain inner balance, and just … be. This simple yet profound guide shows readers how to strengthen their minds by learning to focus attention, open awareness, and develop a positive state of mind — the three pillars of mindfulness practice that research shows lead to greater physical and mental well-being.

Packed with guided meditation instructions, practical exercises, and everyday tools and techniques, Becoming Aware offers a simple program to enhance our inner sense of clarity and even our interpersonal well-being.
