A Mindful Nation with Congressman Tim Ryan

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 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.

Mindfulness IS useful, as a concentration method and a method of transforming your consciousness, for bringing peace to yourself and to others. Thanks to the Zen master abs peace activist Thich Nhat Hahn ("Tik Not Hän"), and others, it has slowly become more and more popular over the decades since the 1960s. My sister, a master of psychotherapy, used it in her practice with youths. I use it to calm myself and reduce stress and pain. I am very excited to see this way of peace becoming mainstrea

Mindfulness is the complete opposite of mind control. When we are aware of the workings of our body, mind and emotions, we are less easily influenced by outside forces and see reality more clearly, resulting in healthier choices for self and other.

Mindfulness can be exploited to become mind control. Be wary of politicians (typically psychopaths) touting ways for raising peoples' awareness. Mindfulness is meditation. Meditation can easily be done in solitude without the specter of a government school regimenting kids to do it without their parents' and their own consent.

How to be happy when voting for Obama? :D

I have bad feeling every time some policy is dictated from Washington, even if it's secular version of Buddhism, Christianity or Kaballah.

Wanna have happy kids and population? Allow charter schools to introduce competition in to education and lower taxes (cut spending) so parents can spend more time with their kids, which is THE CORE of Dr. Dan Siegel message (the book is based on his research and ideas).
