This groundbreaking new book, by bestselling author of The New York Times, Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., introduces readers to an innovative contemplative practice based on science.

"Aware" guides us practically to master the Wheel of Awareness, a tool for cultivating more focus, presence, and calm in our everyday lives - a tool that can change our lives.

It is an in-depth look at the science behind the effectiveness of meditation, for a book that teaches readers how to harness the power of the principle that "Where attention goes, neural firing flows, and neural connections grow."

Siegel reveals how practicing the Wheel of Awareness, in which we focus our attention, expand our awareness, and cultivate good intention, can help us literally develop a healthier brain and reduce fear, anxiety, and worry in our lives.

Whether your experience with contemplative practices is zero or you are an experienced meditator, Awareness is a user-friendly guide that will make you more focused and present in your moment, as well as more activated and emotionally resilient in the face of stress and the daily challenges that life throws your way.
