Yesterday I attended a meeting at the United Nations headquarters in New York City hosted by the International Brain Education Association (IBREA). The focus of the meeting was Brain Education for poverty and welfare. The recent work of IBREA with schoolchildren in El Salvador has demonstrated the Brain Education principle that if your brain is healthy, all areas of your life improve. If many people have healthy brains, we can improve our society and the conditions on earth.
