Science of Trust
Emotional Attunement for Couples In this new work, Dr. Gottman presents his newest findings on trust, trustworthiness and betrayal in a breakthrough approach to understanding and helping couples. Based upon empirical data from five studies across the life course, Gottman reveals the dynamics in everyday couples’ interactions that either build or erode trust. And there are surprising results. For example, the relationship process that dissolves trust has nothing to do with the process that finally ends in betrayal - they are two separate processes. Most important, Gottman shows clinicians how to block the avalanche towards betrayal by teaching clients the fine art of emotional attunement, and if trust has already fallen prey to poor relationship skills or betrayal, how to reconstitute trust and renew commitment.

Daniel J. Siegel, Tina Payne Bryson The Whole Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind
In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson offer a revolutionary approach to child rearing with twelve key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer, happier children. The authors explain—and make accessible—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 throw tantrums, fight, or sulk in silence. 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.Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, The Whole-Brain Child shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that your children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives.

Feeling and Knowing
Making Minds Conscious In recent decades, many philosophers and cognitive scientists have declared the problem of consciousness unsolvable, but Antonio Damasio is convinced that recent findings across multiple scientific disciplines have given us a way to understand consciousness and its significance for human life. In the forty-eight brief chapters of Feeling & Knowing, and in writing that remains faithful to our intuitive sense of what feeling and experiencing are about, Damasio helps us understand why being conscious is not the same as sensing, why nervous systems are essential for the development of feelings, and why feeling opens the way to consciousness writ large. He combines the latest discoveries in various sciences with philosophy and discusses his original research, which has transformed our understanding of the brain and human behavior.
