À propos de cet audio

Equal parts memoir and road map to living a less stressful and more vibrant life, best-selling author Jesse Itzler offers an illuminating, entertaining, and unexpected trip for anyone looking to feel calmer and more controlled in our crazy, hectic world.

Entrepreneur, endurance athlete, and father of four Jesse Itzler only knows one speed: Full Blast. But when he felt like the world around him was getting too hectic, he didn't take a vacation or get a massage. Instead, Jesse moved into a monastery for a self-imposed time-out. In Living with the Monks, the follow-up to his New York Times best-selling Living with a SEAL, Jesse takes us on a spiritual journey like no other. Having only been exposed to monasteries on TV, Jesse arrives at the New Skete religious community in the isolated mountains of upstate New York with a shaved head and a suitcase filled with bananas.

To his surprise, New Skete monks have most of their hair. They're Russian Orthodox, not Buddhist, and they're also world-renowned German shepherd breeders and authors of dog-training books that have sold in the millions. As Jesse struggles to fit in amongst the odd but lovable monks, self-doubt begins to beat like a tribal drum. Questioning his motivation to embark on this adventure and missing his family (and phone), Jesse struggles to balance his desire for inner peace with his need to check Twitter.

But in the end, Jesse discovers the undeniable power of the monks and their wisdom, and the very real benefits of taking a well-deserved break as a means of self-preservation in our fast-paced world.

Too many distractions from the main focus, which is monk's life.

not enough details about the monks. it's a good read but wrong title. or a good title but insufficient details relevant to the title.

Fascinating Read You Didn't Realize You Needed

After reading "Living With A Seal" I was fascinated by how Jesse's experience with monks went, and what revelations he had during his stay. I listened to some podcasts where he spoke about this book in particular, and decided I had to give it a listen.

Jesse delivers this book with great energy, vocal changes depending on different characters, and you can feel the emotion in his voice.

If you're looking for a great perspective on what happens when busy meets silence, this is a great depiction.

What will Jesse Itzler think of next? Living with an astronaut? Living with a deep sea scuba diver? Or will he completely switch it up and live with a rocket scientist, or maybe an ambassador? Who knows, but I'll definitely be reading that one as well!

I enjoyed this audible

It’s an interesting and enjoyable read/listen. Jesse Itzler is a great story teller. I like that he narrated the book himself. His New York accent makes everything sound entertaining. His side stories about his life and family are an awesome addition. I really enjoyed this audible and have listened to it quite a few times. The biggest takeaway for me was to mono task! Concentrating on one thing at a time and becoming excellent at it.

Easy to Listen too

I enjoyed listening to this story. I enjoy the rawness and personality of Jesse. I thought his other book was seal was much better. If you enjoy listening while doing something (working, dishes, etc.) I recommend listening to it.

Another Great Book by Jesse Itzler

While I didn't find the story as captivating as, "Living with a Seal" I still found this book a very entertaining and insightful read. I really like how Jesse narrates his own books, as I feel like you wouldn't get the same effect without him. I really enjoy Jesse's books and look forward to the next one. #Audible1

Should have focused on the monks

The monks and nuns stories were great, but were rather sparse. Author clearly didn't really want to listen to their stories or explore their wisdom in any way. Think of a bunch of self plugs built into a person's story about a two week vacation at a monastery along with common motivational tropes. Did enjoy his non-religious descriptions of their religious life. Great story teller, but don't recommend.

Great book!

Loved this book. Jesse is also wrong, this book is just as funny as Living with a Seal and just as poignant. A great sequel!
