Brainstorm: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain

The New York Times Bestseller

Between the ages of 12 and 24, the brain changes in important, and oftentimes maddening, ways. It’s no wonder that
many parents approach their child’s adolescence with fear and trepidation. According to renowned neuropsychiatrist
Daniel Siegel's New York Times bestseller Brainstorm, if parents and teens can work together to form a deeper
understanding of the brain science behind all the tumult, they will be able to turn conflict into connection and form a
deeper understanding of one another.

In Brainstorm, Siegel illuminates how brain development impacts teenagers’ behavior and relationships. Drawing on
important new research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, he explores exciting ways in which understanding how
the teenage brain functions can help parents make what is in fact an incredibly positive period of growth, change, and
experimentation in their children’s lives less lonely and distressing on both sides of the generational divide.

Brainstorm is a New York Times bestseller and current nominee for a Books for a Better Life award.
