    Well, I finally listened to Dan Siegel's talk, and I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. I loved Diane Poole Heller's talk, though.

    Rick Hanson's talk on Hardwiring Happiness is a must-listen, in my opinion. Plum loved one of his books and he's a real expert. Here's the link:
    http://soundstrue-ha.s3.amazonaws.com/oce/neuroscience-summit/media/NSTS_RickHanson_05_14_16.mp3

    By the way, based on the schedule that Mike posted above, you can download the MP3 of any of the past sessions if you take a moment to learn the trick. You just put the other speaker's name and the date into the URL above. For example, here are some of my favorites so far:
    http://soundstrue-ha.s3.amazonaws.com/oce/neuroscience-summit/media/NSTS_DianeHeller_05_11_16.mp3
    http://soundstrue-ha.s3.amazonaws.com/oce/neuroscience-summit/media/NSTS_LouisCozolino_05_11_16.mp3
    http://soundstrue-ha.s3.amazonaws.com/oce/neuroscience-summit/media/NSTS_DacherKeltner_05_12_16.mp3
    http://soundstrue-ha.s3.amazonaws.com/oce/neuroscience-summit/media/NSTS_LisaWimberger_05_13_16.mp3
    http://soundstrue-ha.s3.amazonaws.com/oce/neuroscience-summit/media/NSTS_GarySmall_05_13_16.mp3

    You just observe the pattern in the links above and substitute the name of the speaker (normal capitalization but no space between the words) and the date to replace the existing one. It only works for sessions that have already passed. It's quite helpful if you miss one live. At some point they might take the old files down, but they haven't bothered to yet. Amateurs. ;) (just kidding)

    For convenience, here is the schedule. So far I've been able to download any of the recordings I've wanted, but at some point they might lock that door.

    I liked Cozolino "Why Therapy Works." So many good insights from a veteran therapist. I appreciate what he says about "expressing anger" and the impact on "psychosomatic illness." This is at 59:00. He also addresses "core shame" and is quite realistic about the resolution or not of this painful, recurring experience. To me this points to developing self-compassion for the human condition that we all experience, rather than trying to "fix" anything.

    Yes, I've picked up on this on a few of the talks, the general opinion seems to be about setting boundaries and cultivating compassion and empathy.

    I've not seen all of the talks, but I am quite interested in today's line up and will listen to the audio tomorrow.

    Thank you for passing along this information. I listened to a few. Dr. Amen's is good info on nutritionally giving your brain the best advantage.

    So today was the last day, so if you want to listen to any of the recorded talks, you may want to download them ASAP. The links might stop working tomorrow afternoon.

    TMS rage often comes from pushing ourselves too hard, and many people find that being kinder to themselves is the solution. (It's certainly something that I find helpful.) Kristin Neff, PhD, is one of the foremost researchers and communicators about self-compassion, so her session might be interesting for people who enjoy @Andy B's posts.

    Well, I listened to more sessions than I expected. Never got the opportunity to see them live though so I missed the visuals. In some ways the ones I did hear seemed to cover the same topics, albeit with a different slant. My absolute favourite was Lisa Wimberger's session on Neurosculpting because she was so clear in her descriptions. Hey, I even took notes. I'd love to read the book but it'll have to join a lengthy queue.

    I'm also pleased that my meditation teacher is running a refresher course next month for those who've completed the MBSR course. I signed right up to that. It'll focus on self-compassion and, I believe, will be based on the work of Kristin Neff and Chris Germer.

    Lisa was excellent, but unfortunately I missed the visuals too.

    I'm not sure when the interviews Forest has posted will be available until, so wanted to post this interview which covers the concepts of neurosculpting for anyone who is interested.

    I love how she describes Neurosculpting as meditation on steroids

    .

    Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight (mentioned in the Summit and above interview)

    Thanks, Mike. I listened to both. Bolte Taylor's talk had been recommended on another forum but I hadn't seen it until today. It's interesting that Wimberger has begun to work with survivors of traumatic brain injuries. She says this at the end of her talk for the summit. I also like how she emphasises in the video above that our personality traits are not fixed and unchangeable. They are a choice.

    I caught most of the presentations and enjoyed most of them. I learned some new things and discovered some areas where I want to learn more. They were certainly worth the price of admission :)

    I liked Lisa Wimberger's the best and the also enjoyed the last presentation by Stan Tatkin on relationships.

    I haven't listened to Stan yet, but will do so. Thanks for the tip.

    Wow, I've finally gotten through to a member of my family who suffers from mind-body ailments (I tried last year, but hadn't convinced him). I tried again today, by showing him a few interviews by Norman Doidge, Mark Wolynn and Rick Hanson and he seemed open to the concept... The next step, is to lend him The Mindbody Prescription.
