Both inspiring and pragmatic, A Mindful Nation shows how the benefits of mindfulness apply to the current challenges that affect each of us in our own lives and in our communities, and thus have implications for our society as a whole. With a hard-nosed understanding of politics, government budgets, and what it takes to get something done, Congressman Tim Ryan (D - OH) connects a practical approach—lead with the science, show the savings and show how this can help us educate our children to be competitive in the world arena—with a hopeful vision for how mindfulness can reinvigorate our core American values and transform and revitalize our communities.

  • wonderful, it makes me hopeful and for some reason also makes me tear up. Even a member of congress can find time for a retreat, sigh. but it is perhaps an opening to use various aspects of my background in education, whatever form.
