The Power of Awareness
Thursday, April 26 • 8:00 - 9:30 am
Daniel J. Siegel, MD, is a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and the founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center at UCLA. An award-winning educator, Dr. Siegel's unique ability to make complicated scientific concepts exciting and accessible has led him to be invited to address diverse groups including mental health professionals, neuroscientists, corporate leaders, educators, parents, and policy-makers, as well as for the King of Thailand, Pope John Paul II, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. His upcoming book, Aware: The Science and Practice of Presence (Tarcher/Perigee, August 2018) will provide practical instruction for mastering the Wheel of Awareness, a life-changing tool for cultivating more focus, presence, and peace in one's day-to-day life.
Pre-registrants (on or before 4/19) for this session will receive a complimentary eBook copy of Dr. Siegel's Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation (Bantam, 2010)
