Dr Stuart Shanker is the visionary founder of the MEHRIT Centre, an organisation dedicated to understanding how stress affects human behaviour and to help both kids and adults self-regulate how they respond to stress in order to improve their lives. This turned out to be an absolutely fascinating conversation that was so good I broke it into 2 parts. 

Stuart  is the author of the Self-Reg trilogy: Calm, Alert and Learning: Classroom Strategies for Self-Regulation (Pearson 2012), Self-Reg: How to Help Your Child (and You) Break the Stress Cycle and Successfully Engage with Life (Penguin 2016); Reframed: Self-Reg for a Just Society (UofT Press 2020). And with Susan Hopkins, Self-Reg Schools: A Handbook for Educators (Pearson 2019).

Here is a link to the MEHRIT centre - make sure you check out their resources section and blog. Here is also a link to self-reg global, which is the international work that they do.
