Both a personal and general meditation on identity and belonging, Daniel J. Siegel’s book combines personal reflections with scientific discussions of how the mind, brain, and our relationships shape who we are. Weaving the internal and external, the subjective and objective, IntraConnected reveals how our culture may give us a message of separation as a solo, isolated self, but a wider perspective unveils that who we are may be something more―broader than the brain, bigger even than the body―and fundamental to social systems and the natural world.

Holotropic means "moving toward wholeness," from the Greek holos (whole) and trepein (moving in the direction of). The breathwork utilizes the remarkable healing and transformative potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness. These states engender a rich array of experiences with unique healing potential - reliving childhood memories, infancy, birth and prenatal life, and elements from the historical and archetypal realms of the collective unconscious.

Great read For some sort of soothing
Personally I’m a little saturated with material of this content lately, but as far as it goes it is an extremely pleasant listen. Both the narrators are easy to listen to you and peace well. There are meditations sprinkled throughout the book which is just one more reason why it would be great if audible would have chapters that would align with the content and also tables of contents so we could return to the useful parts. Really appreciated the medical perspective woven into the mindfulness pieces, that kept this book above the fray of mindfulness productions recently.
