{"product_id":"mindful-nation-book-tim-ryan-9781401939298","title":"A Mindful Nation","description":"In one of the most optimistic books to come out of Washington during  these trying times, Congressman Tim Ryan presents us with an inspiring  and hopeful view of the future of all nations - and a roadmap for how to get  there. Around the world, people are feeling squeezed, exhausted and  running faster and faster while falling farther behind. The economy  continues to struggle, wars rage on, and every week brings news of  another environmental disaster. Everything seems broken and people feel  helpless to make a difference. Despite this bleak outlook, there are  strands of quiet hope and confidence. People are beginning to take  action in a new way: they are slowing down, paying attention and  gaining an awareness of the inner resources at their disposal.   This  new way is based on the timeless and universal practice of mindfulness,  the natural capabilities of our brains and minds, and the core values of self-reliance, stick-to-it-iveness and getting the job done.   And it's manifesting in every sector of society - it's helping sick  people work with their pain, school children improve their learning,  veterans heal from trauma and CEOs become more inclusive and effective  leaders. All these benefits - and more - are supported by scientific  research on mindfulness that is regularly reported by the mainstream  media.   In A Mindful Nation,  Congressman Tim Ryan - a thoughtful, committed leader- takes this story about the benefits of  mindfulness to the next level. He connects the dots between what's  happening with mindfulness in the classrooms, hospitals, boardrooms,  research labs and army bases across the world by sharing his  interactions with experts in education, defence, health care, criminal  justice and the environment. A Mindful Nation paints a picture of emerging solutions that both benefit the reader and address the societal difficulties we are facing. Ryan's folksy, warm and encouraging voice uplifts us and shows that there is something we can do right here and right now to help ourselves and our country.   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, 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 revitalise our communities.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49580027707665,"sku":"GOR013764804","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49666153873681,"sku":"GOR006247499","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49973922267409,"sku":"CIN1401939295G","price":3.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53090100642065,"sku":"CIN1401939295VG","price":5.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1401939295.jpg?v=1750856891","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/mindful-nation-book-tim-ryan-9781401939298","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
