About this listen

This groundbreaking new book from New York Times best-selling author Daniel Siegel, MD, introduces readers to his pioneering meditation practice that draws on cutting-edge brain science.

In Aware, New York Times best-selling author Daniel J Siegel introduces listeners to his life-changing meditation program, 'The Wheel of Awareness'. Whether the listener has no experience with reflective practices or is an experienced practitioner, Aware provides practical instruction for mastering this brilliant tool for cultivating more focus, presence and peace in one's day-to-day life.

Dr. Siegel reveals in this fascinating audiobook how mindfulness practices such as meditation have the capacity to quite literally rewire our brains, as 'neurons that fire together wire together'. According to Siegel, fear, anxiety and stress in our lives can tend to send our thoughts travelling down the same neural pathways. Our thinking can become rigid or disjointed. Through developing a Wheel of Awareness practice, however, we strengthen our minds by expanding our awareness of how our mind is actually functioning and - in turn - we are able to gently coax our thoughts to travel in healthier, more productive directions.

An in-depth look at the brain science that underlies meditation's effectiveness, Aware will guide you in developing a meditation practice that will inspire you to be more focused and present in your life as well as more emotionally resilient in the face of stress and the challenges life may throw your way.

Intriguing science

Interesting ideas backed by research. Good for clinicians. Maybe a bit complex for self guided learning without understanding of some concepts though the concepts are explained fully

Computer generated voice makes it hard to focus

Couldn’t get past the first couple of chapters due to the computer generated voice. Too hard to focus given the content.

Tough going

This book is hard to listen to as the content is very technical at times. Has lots of new made up words, is an academic approach to meditation and perhaps is more suitable for a university study.
The sentences are very long and sometimes I found myself having to take a breath to enable to me to listen and get through to the end of them.
There are so many elongated explanations of simple things that I found it all too much.
There are lots of very good points in the book, some helpful, but he uses ten words when two would work perfectly.
I’m sure he is extremely knowledgeable and possibly helpful to some readers. I found it wasn’t easy to listen to.
