Exploring Relationships and Reflection in the Cultivation of Well-Being.

Daniel Siegel, MD, is Clinical Professor of psychiatry at UCLA, Co-Director of Mindful Awareness Research Center, Executive Director of Mindsight Institute, author, and recipient of numerous awards and honorary fellowships.

This talk examines how relationships and reflection support the development of resilience in children and serve as the basic '3 R's" of a new internal education of the mind.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*

    " When you have reflection, and you have relationships that are caring and connecting, you actually stimulate the growth of the integrative fibres in the brain. And these are the fibres that allow you to have resilience. ' That is Awesome - :)x
  • Loving all of this. With a reflection on the comment about the mom carrying her 1 1/2 year old while texting for 2 1/2 blocks. You can’t know why she was doing what she was doing. Perhaps she’s exhausted from lack of sleep, has no support at home, managed to get her fussy toddler out the door and soothed and what you saw was her only moment to be texting her therapist or a suicide helpline because she’s at her limit and reaching out for support? Maybe she was just tuned out and missed that moment, but it’s not knowable unless you asked her. We all have to watch the stories we tell ourselves about others, and then judge those people based on our own stories.

    Great video, I wonder why I'm just seeing it. I also wonder why it doesn't have millions of views having stayed for 9 years.

    I think saying that if you want to be happier think about someone else can be a dangerous thing to say for some people.For some people they have been thinking about everyone else but themselves quite a lot.For some people thinking about themselves is what they really need to be doing and not being made to feel guilty or selfish for doing so.
