Together, they also wrote The Yes Brain and The Power of Showing Up. Dr. Bryson is also the author of The Bottom Line for Baby, and her newest book, co-authored with Georgie Wisen-Vincent, is The Way of Play.

She’s a sought-after keynote speaker and workshop leader for parents, educators, and clinicians around the globe, and she also consults with schools, businesses, and organizations, including the Nike Sport Research Lab, serving as Project Director for Mental and Emotional Performance.
