Horacio Sanchez was a keynote speaker at a summer counseling conference I attended in June. He was a fascinating and dynamic speaker and I found myself wishing he had been given more time because I wanted to keep listening to him. His book is geared toward teachers (rather than school counselors), but I found much of the information relevant and applicable to anyone in a school setting, as well as valuable for parents, community members, and educational stakeholders. I plan to utilize his mental and physical grounding techniques in small group sessions and classroom visits to teach kids hyper-focusing mindfulness skills. It is reaffirming to see the brain science validate these implementations, especially because I work in such a data-driven field.

Really really great read for educators and especially reading specialists. Some really technical language and deep thinking I loved it! New brain concepts that all teachers should know and read! Excellent author!

Should be required reading for all university students (no matter the major), administrators, teachers, and parents.
