Review of Tim Ryan's "A Mindful Nation"
“A Mindful Nation” by Congressman Tim Ryan is a thoughtful
book about how the practice of mindfulness may be able to help individuals and
the nation as a whole. I was interested in reading this book because it
encompasses two subjects I am keenly interested in: meditation and politics.
Congressman Ryan seems to be an anomaly in today’s political world, where party
is pitted against party, ideology against ideology. Rep. Ryan (D-Ohio) was introduced to mindfulness
practices and yoga in college which helped him in sports performance. He has
been a Congressman since 2002 and is in his 5th term. And he is only
39. When he is a bit older, I hope he runs for President.
“A Mindful Nation” shows the reader how mindfulness
practices have helped schoolchildren in educational settings, the military and
first responders, in health care systems and describes the science that has
been found to underlie mindfulness practices. Rep. Ryan is ever hopeful that
the resiliency of our population can be called upon to help itself and help our
country as it once did in the past. This is an optimistic book which, at the
bottom of it, asks people to become more aware, more mindful of how they are
feeling and experiencing their internal life and life around them. In doing so,
Ryan feels people will act from a place of compassion, kindness and community.
He does not offer all the solutions, but he leads a way for others to think
about how to be truly helpful.
It is refreshing and comforting to know that there is
someone in Congress who is thinking along these lines and who has written about
mindfulness in such a cogent fashion.
