Mindsight, a term coined by Dr. Daniel Siegel (no relation, unfortunately), is the brain's capacity to experience both insight and empathy. This, Siegel claims, "is the potent skill that is the basis for both emotional and social intelligence." He says that "self-awareness and empathy are the domains of the human ability for success in life". Wow, pretty powerful stuff!
More simply, mindsight is our ability to know our minds. This ability, along with the ability to sense the inner world of others, Siegel claims, is the key to nurturing healthy minds and hearts.
Bring it, fellow Siegel!
