This free event will kick off Giving Tuesday, which is dedicated to
planning, completing or pledging small or large acts of kindness on
Tuesday, November 29.
Siegel will discuss "Mindsight," a term he coined to describe the human
capacity to perceive the mind of self and others which allows us to
develop stronger relationships and increased interconnectedness.
Dr. Siegel's unique ability to make complicated scientific concepts
accessible and exciting has earned him invitations to address such
notables as Pope John Paul II, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and Google
University. When he is not traveling the globe, he is a clinical professor
of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, founding co-director of
the Mindful Awareness Research Center at UCLA and Executive
Director of the Mindsight Institute in Santa Monica.
