About this title

Synopsis

In a world divided along seemingly innumerable political and philosophical divides, Right Speech: A Buddhist Politician's Guide to Changing Your Life and the World provides practical guidance on how we can improve our lives and repair our communities through the Buddhist concept of right speech. Written from a secular Buddhist perspective, Right Speech: A Buddhist Politician's Guide to Changing Your Life and the World relates science, politics, and philosophy to the Buddhist concept of right speech. Right speech has three components: Is it true? Is it beneficial? And, is it the right time? Viewing these questions through the philosophy of Buddhism, we can see how we can in fact change ourselves and the world through one simple trick: Mindfulness of our speech. Collin Walke has been a mindfulness practitioner for 20 years and has taught meditation to students, teachers, professors, entrepreneurs, criminal diversion program participants, and many other individuals and groups. Collin is also an attorney and mediator with a wide range of experience from corporate transactions to construction litigation. Collin was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives in 2016 and was the first Democrat elected from House District 87 in over 30 years.
