Daniel J. Siegel received his medical degree from Harvard University and is a practising child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist and clinical professor at the UCLA School of Medicine. He is the author of the internationally acclaimed books The Developing Mind, The Mindful Brain, and The Mindful Therapist. He is also the author of Mindsight, and co-author of The Whole-Brain Child.
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.
Teens and their parents stand to benefit immensely from reading
this book, separately or together.
*Daniel Goleman, author of *Emotional Intelligence**
At last a book that really explains adolescence! ‘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. My favourite thing about this book is that Siegel
sees adolescence not as a problem to be solved or a hardship to be
endured, but rather as a wellspring of courage and creativity. This
respectfulness is why the book works so well as a manual for
adolescents, as well as their parents and mentors.
*Lawrence J. Cohen, author of *The Opposite of Worry* and *Playful
Parenting**
Siegel gives us a fresh and insightful examination of adolescence
from his point of view as an expert on the brain. The book also
shows him to be a thoughtful parent, a compassionate guide and a
very fine writer. I strongly recommend Brainstorm to teens and to
those who care about them.
*Mary Pipher, author of *Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of
Adolescent Girls* and *The Green Boat: Reviving Ourselves in Our
Capsized Culture**
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*
'Brainstorm is a must read book for every parent if they want to

*Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia and Seeking
Peace*
‘Siegel emerges as a big-hearted 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*
