Neuroscience
The neuroscience that informs our practices and processes at Ryzio deals with the human mind and the cultivation of well-being. Here are some of the most interesting and important references in the field right now:
Dr. Dan Siegel is a pioneer in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, what he calls the “mindsight approach.” He provides interesting and understandable explanations and processes from this latest science. His website is full of valuable and intriguing resources. You can find it here.
In his latest book, MIND: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human, Dr. Siegel explores the topic of neuroscience and the mind in a refreshing and easy-to-understand way. He shows how the mind is influenced by culture, purpose, values, science, spirituality, and our experiences in the moment. He invites us to explore our own mind as a way of understanding more of who we are. This book is a great introduction and review of neuroscience and the brain and includes stories from his own journey. Click here to read more about it on Amazon.
