À propos de cet audio

 Equal parts memoir and road map to living a less stressful and more vibrant life, bestselling 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 bestselling 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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"At a time when stress and burnout have become global epidemics, along comes Jesse Itzler to remind us how important it is to be present, intentional and connect with ourselves and with what really matters. With wisdom and humor, he takes us not just inside the monastery but inside ourselves, toward a life of more stillness, more presence, more patience and more gratitude."—Arianna Huffington
Praise for Living with a SEAL:
It's hilarious!—LeBron James
"This is 100% Jesse. Do it differently and you get different results. That's the way he has operated his entire life and it has worked beautifully."—Mike "Coach K" Krzyzewski, Duke Basketball head coach
"Jesse is a risk taker and is always trying different things to get better. Plus, he's fun to go out with."—Tom Brady, New England Patriots, four-time NFL Champion, two-time NFL MVP
"Most of us go through life on auto-pilot. New day...same routine. This guy beamed a "live action hero" into his living room for 31 days to shake up his life. Sometimes you have to have the guts to do something radical to get results."—Dolvett Quince, The Biggest Loser
"Jesse knows what it takes to succeed in business and in life - a Don't Quit attitude! Our US Military embraces that attitude in training and survival, no one more so than the elite Navy SEALs. When my pal invites SEAL into his world, Jesse's life is never the same again! The relationship between these guys is outrageous - it's like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air meets Rambo! But with all the insanity there are strong life messages, hysterical moments, and great lessons to be learned. Like Jesse, this book is a HIT!"—Jake Steinfeld, chairman and founder of Body by Jake
"George Foreman once gave me great advice. When I told him my husband ran 100 miles non-stop he said, 'Sara, don't try to understand a man like that. Just love him."—Sara Blakely, Founder of SPANX, Jesse's wife
"Living With A Seal is funny and compelling with practical wisdom that leaves the reader feeling elevated and empowered. It also deeply impacted my own personal journey to health, fitness and well being."—Cory Booker, US Senator for New Jersey

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.

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

what a great book and Jesse does a great job reading. This is a book to keep going back to every 6 months or year to reevaluate how you are doing in life

Amazing book!!!

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!

Fascinating Read You Didn't Realize You Needed

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.

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.

Easy to Listen too

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

Another Great Book by Jesse Itzler

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.

Should have focused on the monks

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!

Great book!
