"Brainstorm is a must read book for every parent if they want to
avoid emotional turbulence in their own lives as their children go
through adolescence. It's lifesaving for the whole family."
—Deepak Chopra, MD
“Brainstorm is eye-opening and inspiring, a great gift to us
all—teens, parents of teens, and anyone who wants a full and rich
life on this planet. Daniel Siegel shows how the supposed downsides
of the teen years all have upsides, and that the lessons for living
that await teens are ones any of us, at any age, can learn
from.”
—Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence
"Siegel emerges as a bighearted writer, fully convinced that we all
possess the fundamental virtues to navigate the choppy waters of
adolescence, and he is eager for us to set them loose, working with
adolescents to cultivate the positive aspects—and he is hugely
convincing of the intense engagement and creativity that often
accompany this time period in a person’s life. Smart advice...on
providing the most supportive and brain-healthy environment during
the tumultuous years of adolescence."
—KIRKUS REVIEWS
“This book is chock-full of cutting-edge knowledge as well as a
deep compassion for teenagers, the adults they will become, and the
teenagers in all of us.”
—Alanis Morisette
“Brainstorm is a necessary look at why adolescents do what they do
that can put parents in an emotional frenzy. The information that
Dr. Dan Siegel shares is not only invaluable for understanding your
growing child's brain, but helps build more compassion and
patience. A gift for us all.”
—Goldie Hawn
"By the end of this book, the teenager has been transformed from a
monstrous force into a thinking, feeling, and entirely approachable
human being."
—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“I strongly recommend Brainstorm to teens and those who care for
them.”
—Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia
“‘You just don’t get me’ is a common refrain from teenagers to
their parents and teachers. Adolescents who read this book will
discover that Daniel Siegel gets them . . . This respectfulness is
why the book works so well as a manual for adolescents, as well as
for their parents and mentors.”
—Lawrence Cohen, author of The Opposite of Worry
