Resiliency Expert and Author Horacio Sanchez on "Finding Solutions to The Poverty Problem"

<p>Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast episode #111 with our 3rd returning guest, whose interview episode #74<a href='#_edn1'>[i]</a> made an impact on many of our listeners (and me) as we were right in the first few months of the Pandemic.

I knew that Horacio was deep into his next book, The Poverty Problem: How Education Can Promote Resilience and Counter Poverty's Impact on Brain Development but had not read it, nor made the connection between this book, the implicit biases that we all have, how to understand where they originated from in order to self-correct them and where to even begin to make these changes.
