Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation by Daniel J. Siegel

2.0

The first half of this book is largely theory, which was a little dry but interesting. The back half is then basically case studies used as examples to prove his theories. However, it started to feel self-indulgent pretty quickly, and more like he wanted to show off what he'd accomplished than like he was demonstrating the science of it. I have a hunch that the science in this is outdated as well, since he focuses heavily on left brain vs right brain theories, but I'm not a psychologist so I can't be too confident in that statement. Overall left me feeling very meh. Had some interesting content, but was somewhat dry and self-indulgent.
