Mindsight

Daniel Siegel

PB AUD35.00

From a pioneer in the field of mental health comes a groundbreaking book on the healing power of 'mindsight', the capacity for insight and empathy that allows you to make positive changes in your brain - and in your life.

A Harvard-trained physician and clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. coined the term mindsight to describe the innovative integration of brain science with the practice of psychotherapy. With a wealth of personal, hands-on experience, and access to the latest research findings, Dr Siegel is ideally placed to introduce this powerful therapeutic tool to a wide audience. Using interactive examples and case histories from his practice, he shows how mindsight can be applied to alleviate a range of psychological and interpersonal problems - from anxiety disorders to ingrained patterns of behaviour.

With warmth and humour, Dr Siegel shows us how to observe the working of our minds, allowing us to understand why we think, feel, and act the way we do, and how, by following the proper steps, we can literally change the wiring and architecture of our brains. Both practical and informative.

The Enlightened Leader

Peter ten Hoopen and Fons Trompenaars

HC AUD47.95

The authors state in their forward how many people discouraged them from writing or publishing this book with the world enlightened in the title.

The fears being projected included: you will marginalise your audience and no one is interested in anything aside from profits. Fortunately they stayed focused on what they believe is everyone's aim: to conquer fear and start to live and grow in freedom.

What they have seen in their consulting work is a search for a type of leadership that incorporates not just material values but human values as well.

The model they are teaching uses the seven charkas or energy levels as the differentiator. They have a companion chakra test to profile the extent to which the seven aspects of leadership are developed, either positively or negatively. The authors combine the theory with a wealth of stories, sharp wit and self-deprecating humour.

This may well be a challenging book for leaders to read however it does have the capacity to be life changing.
