Dr. Siegel's work is a love letter to humanity--both a road map and an appeal for us to understand the strength, basis, and innate connection that we all have and must become aware of in order to move beyond survival mode and into thriving mode.

In an amazing dance of intellectual brilliance, heartfelt caring, and wise embrace, Dan Siegel invites us into the depth of his and our human story of development in order to examine, reflect, and melt the nature of the separate self.

In his latest book, Dan Siegel explores a pathway toward a more sustainable way of being humans facing the multiple pandemics of our times together. Synthesizing insights from a range of disciplines and ways of knowing, he argues for expanding, evolving the notion of the self, from an isolated and separate 'me' to a relational, awe-embracing integrated sense--called, in his intriguing coinage, 'M We.' I know of no more encouraging prescription for what ails us at this time.--Rhonda V.

In this personally engaging and philosophically illuminating work, Dr. Dan Siegel takes his unique explorations of the human experience of self and mind to a yet deeper level, revealing what he aptly calls the pandemic of solo-self to be based on a delusion, one at odds with both contemporary science and traditional wisdom.
