Summary:
Cutting-edge science explains what parents and society need to know about the lifelong consequences of early exposure to stress and adversity. The debate has always been divided between nature and nurture, but as psychology professor Daniel Keating demonstrates, new science points to a third factor that allows us to inherit both the nature and the nurture of previous generations - with significant consequences. As income gaps widen, social inequality could become the new predator. In this book, Keating demonstrates how we can break the cycle.
