BRAINSTORM: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain

Dr. Siegel's book BRAINSTORM: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain draws on groundbreaking research to illuminate how brain development affects adolescent behavior - and how parents can better relate to their teenagers during this tumultuous time.

Some of the topics covered will include: popular myths about teenage behavior, why teens are driven to seek out novelty and take more risks, how the brain undergoes rapid changes, even throughout one's early 20s (i.e., your rebellious "teen" years don't end when you hit 20), and why adolescence is a "Golden Age" of innovation and creativity.
