Mona Delahooke Brain Body Parenting
When we begin to understand the biology beneath the behavior, suggests Dr. Delahooke, we give our children the resources they need to grow and thrive-and we give ourselves the gift of a happier, more connected relationship with them. Brain-Body Parenting empowers parents with tools to help their children develop self-regulation skills while also encouraging parental self-care, which is crucial for parents to have the capacity to provide the essential "co-regulation" children need. When parents shift from trying to secure compliance to supporting connection and balance in the body and mind, they unlock a deeper understanding of their child, encouraging calmer behavior, more harmonious family dynamics, and increased resilience.

Daniel Siegel Brainstorm
The Power & Purpose of the Teenage Brain According to neuropsychiatrist Daniel Siegel, the New York Times bestselling author of Aware and Mindsight, if parents and teens can work together to form a deeper understanding of the brain science behind all the adolescent tumult, they will be able to turn conflict into connection and form a deeper understanding of one another. In Brainstorm, Siegel illuminates how brain development impacts teenagers' behavior and relationships. Drawing on important new research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, he explores exciting ways in which understanding how the teenage brain functions can help parents make what is in fact an incredibly positive period of growth, change, and experimentation in their children's lives less lonely and distressing on both sides of the generational divide.

Emotions, Learning, and the Brain
Exploring the Educational Implications for Affective Neuroscience With her signature talent for explaining and interpreting neuroscientific findings in practical, teacher-relevant terms, Immordino-Yang offers two simple but profound ideas: first, that emotions are such powerful motivators of learning because they activate brain mechanisms that originally evolved to manage our basic survival; and second, that meaningful thinking and learning are inherently emotional, because we only think deeply about things we care about. Together, these insights suggest that in order to motivate students for academic learning, produce deep understanding, and ensure the transfer of educational experiences into real-world skills and careers, educators must find ways to leverage the emotional aspects of learning.

Female Brain
Louann Brizendine, M.D., brings together the latest findings to show how the unique structure of the female brain determines how women think, what they value, how they communicate, and who they love. While doing research as a medical student at Yale and then as a resident and faculty member at Harvard, Louann Brizendine discovered that almost all of the clinical data in existence on neurology, psychology, and neurobiology focused exclusively on males. In response to the overwhelming need for information on the female mind, Brizendine established the first clinic in the country to study and treat women's brain function.

Keep Your Brain Alive:
83 Neurobic Exercises to Help Prevent Memory Loss and Increase Mental Fitness.Based on leading neurobiological research, Keep Your Brain Alive introduces a regimen of mental cross-training-a series of deceptively simple exercises that help stimulate the production of natural growth factors called neurotrophins, which in turn grow brain cells and keep the brain younger and stronger. And nothing so easily stimulates the brain as breaking routines and using the five senses in new and unexpected ways. So if you're right-handed, wake up tomorrow and brush your teeth with your left hand. Or close your eyes before you get in the car and insert the key into the ignition. Every time you open a new circuit in your brain, it's like doing a round of mental sit-ups.

Livewired
The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain The brain is not hardwired, David Eagleman contends--it is livewired. With his theory of info tropism, he demonstrates why the fundamental principle of the brain is information maximization: in the same way that plants grow toward light, brains reconfigure to boost data from the outside world. Learn how a child can function with one half of his brain removed, how a blind man can hit a baseball via a sensor on his tongue, how new devices and body plans can enhance our natural capacities, how paralyzed people will soon be able to dance in thought-controlled robotic suits, how we can build next generation devices based on the principles of the brain, and what all this has to do with why we dream at night.

Male Brain: A Breakthrough Understanding of How Men and Boys Think
This book explores the latest breakthroughs in male psychology and neurology with Dr.Louann Brizendine's trademark accessibility and candor. Readers are introduced into the male reality, through insights suggesting that the male brain is a lean, mean, problem-solving machine that thrives under competition, instinctively plays rough and is obsessed with rank and hierarchy. It has an area for sexual pursuit, and experiences such a massive increase in testosterone at puberty that he perceive others' faces to be more aggressive. Impeccably researched and at the cutting edge of scientific knowledge, this is a book that every man, and especially every woman bedeviled by a man, will need to own.

In this book, Daniel J. Siegel and Marion F. Solomon have gathered leading writers to discuss such topics as: attention, resilience, and mindfulness; neuroplasticity-how the brain changes its function and structure in response to experience; "loving awareness" as the foundation for mindful living; how mindfulness training can help build empathy and compassion in clinicians; self-compassion; addictions; using breath practice to cultivate well-being; tools for clients who feel disconnected; "therapeutic presence"-how we show up for our clients, how we embody being aware and receptive.Contributors include Pat Ogden, Shauna Shapiro, Bonnie Goldstein, Trudy Goodman Kornfield, Jack Kornfield, Kristin Neff, Judson Brewer, Gary Small, Amishi Jha, and more.

Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation
According to UCLA psychiatrist Siegel, the notion of "mindsight," or the mind's knack for stepping back and analyzing its own thought processes, is just as critical as emotional intelligence. Drawing on cutting-edge neurobiological research and Eastern meditation practices as well as studies conducted by his own, L.A.-based Mindsight Institute, Siegel presents a convincing case that mindsights' dual focus on mindfulness and empathy can literally rewire the brain and catalyze greater personal fulfillment. In 12 lucid yet scientifically grounded chapters, he provides the evidence for mindsights' powerful effect on human behavior and then presents a guidebook for developing and applying mindsight in one's life. --Carl Hays
