In a previous post, Mindfulness Meditation Practices in Politics, we reported on how Congressman Tim Ryan employs daily mindfulness meditation practices.
Congressman Ryan is the United States Representative from Ohio. He is also the author of a now famous book, A Mindful Nation: How a Simple Practice Can Help Us Reduce Stress, Improve Performance, and Recapture the American Spirit.
In this interview of Congressman Tim Ryan on CBS News, he comments on his book and the introduction of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in some schools in Youngstown, Ohio.
SEL is based on the concepts of social and emotional intelligence from the work of Dr. Daniel Goleman. His two books, Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships and Emotional Intelligence: 10th Anniversary Edition; Why It Can Matter More Than IQ have spent many weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List.
I think Congressman Ryan is on the right track! What do you think? Please share.
