Dan Siegel, MD, NY Times Best Selling Author Talks with Kathy Kirk host of A New View of Life Radio


Voice America Talk Radio Network, Internet broadcasting pioneer, producing and syndicating online audio and video, today announced that NY Times Best Selling author and neuropsychiatrist, Dan Siegel, MD will join Kathy Kirk, host of A New View of Life radio program on the VoiceAmerica Variety Channel (http://www.voiceamericavariety.com) Tuesday, February 21, at 3 p.m. Pacific Time.

Dan Siegel, MD will discuss his newest book, The Whole Brain Child. In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling book Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson demystify the meltdowns and aggravation, explaining the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures. The “upstairs brain,” which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. No wonder kids can seem—and feel—so out of control. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child’s brain and foster vital growth. Raise calmer, happier children using twelve key strategies.

Daniel J. Siegel received his medical degree from Harvard University and completed his postgraduate medical education at UCLA with training in pediatrics and child, adolescent and adult psychiatry. He served as a National Institute of Mental Health Research Fellow at UCLA, studying family interactions with an emphasis on how attachment experiences influence emotions, behavior, autobiographical memory and narrative.

Dr. Siegel is currently clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine where he is on the faculty of the Center for Culture, Brain, and Development and the Co-Director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center. An award-winning educator, he is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and recipient of several honorary fellowships. Dr. Siegel is also the Executive Director of the Mindsight Institute, an educational organization, which offers online learning and in-person lectures that focus on how the development of mindsight in individuals, families and communities can be enhanced by examining the interface of human relationships and basic biological processes. His psychotherapy practice includes children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. He serves as the Medical Director of the LifeSpan Learning Institute and on the Advisory Board of the Blue School in New York City, which has built its curriculum around Dr. Siegel’s Mindsight approach.

Dr. Siegel’s unique ability to make complicated scientific concepts easy to understand and exciting has led him to be invited to address diverse local, national and international groups of mental health professionals, neuroscientists, corporate leaders, educators, parents, public administrators, healthcare providers, policy-makers, and clergy. He has been invited to lecture for the King of Thailand, Pope John Paul II, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Google University, and TEDx. For 2010-2011, Dan is serving as the National Speaker for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Mindfulness and Integrative Medicine Lectures.

ABOUT Dr. Terri Kathy Kirk:
Kathy Kirk has led both an ‘ordinary’ and an ‘extraordinary’ life. A self-admitted generalist with a science background, over the past 25 years she has been developing and evolving teachings and principles to help all people live life to the fullest. In every activity, her focus has been observing the human Spirit and its interface, application and effectiveness in the individual Life on Earth.

Applied Spirituality™ was born from research, observation, personal experiences, meditation and Kathy’s own spiritual journey. She has exhaustively observed the world’s various religions, and studied many spiritual teachers. What she was looking for was not unique to one religion, however, but a simple, effective teaching that could be applied by all, regardless of religion. For seven years in her jeep, Kathy traveled extensively the United States to observe people and conceive the idea and principles of Applied Spirituality. She meditated and reflected on all that she had learned and found the words to explain Applied Spirituality to the world.

The book functions as a user’s manual and comes with a complete online, interactive course. Kathy’s second book, Well Done chronicles owning and operating her successful restaurant, Chelsea Garden, in Solana Beach, CA. It is as a story of an ordinary life transformed using the principles of Applied Spirituality. The forward of Well Done is written by Dr. Ken Blanchard. Both books and online courses can be found on her website at http://www.appliedspirituality.com.

In addition to her books, Kathy has a radio show, A New View of Life on Voice America Variety Channel. She writes regular articles for ezinearticles and her two blogs, A New View and A New View of Things for The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
