Congressman Tim Ryan took a break after an election cycle. He went in search of peace: He signed up for a five-day silent Buddhist mindfulness meditation retreat with Jon Kabat-Zinn.
He found in the profound silence of mindfulness and clear comprehension (sati sampajanna) more peace than he could have imagined, peace akin to the "centering" prayer modality of his youth.
It occurred to him that mindfulness -- with modern scientific studies to back it and an ancient mystical tradition built around it -- could help turn around the entire nation.

A
Mindful Nation paints a picture of emerging solutions that benefit both the reader and American society as a whole, showing us that there is
something we can do right here and right now.
With a hard-nosed
understanding of politics, government budgets, and what it takes to get
something done, Congressman Ryan combines a practical approach with a hopeful vision
for how mindfulness can help reinvigorate the American Dream.
