The Yes Brain
by Dan Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson, PhD
Dan Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson have written some of the most practical and powerful parenting books I’ve ever read, and The Yes Brain is all about how to help our kids develop the qualities that matter most: balance, resilience, insight, and empathy. As per the subtitle, this book is about cultivating courage, curiosity, and resilience in your child, but what makes it so powerful is that it ties all of that to the deeper goal of helping our kids build a truly healthy, integrated brain and, ultimately, a eudaimonic life filled with meaning, connection, and equanimity. It is packed with practical wisdom on how to expand our kids’ window of tolerance, teach response flexibility, model these qualities in our own lives, and help bring forth the inner spark within them. Big Ideas we explore include Eudaimonic Brains, Integration, Window of Tolerance, Response Flexibility, and The Inner Spark.
