Daniel Siegel, a leading psychiatrist and founder of the Interpersonal Neurobiology movement, emphasizes the role of the brain in modulating emotions and impacting the quality of interpersonal relationships.  His ideas will be the focus of the next meeting of the Men's Group on Saturday, July 19.  If you plan to attend, please take a look at the following two videos.  In the first, Siegel presents his conceptualization of different operating systems in the brain and the ways in which mindfulness affects these systems.  In the second, he explains how anger and dysregulated emotion evolve, the brakes and accelerator of the brain, and the organic bases of attunement to others, empathy, and compassion.  Siegel's work is highly relevant for men and the challenges men face.
