### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Entertaining book that also makes you stop and think
  

*by D***N on June 10, 2018*









  
  
    I loved the author's first book (Living with a Seal) so I was real excited for this one. But I have to admit, I feared it might be a letdown and just more of the same. I didn't have to worry -- it was just as good, if not better than the first! And it's different - I think "Seal" has more laugh out loud moments, while "Monks" is consistently enjoyable and thought-provoking throughout.Both books draw you in and make you feel like you're experiencing a  life challenge together with the author. As Jesse leaves his fast-paced life to spend time living with monks, you find yourself rooting for him to make it through and also stopping to think how his experiences apply to your own life. I particularly loved the 10 real world benefits at the end - you can only fully appreciate them if you read the book, but they are set off in a separate ending chapter to make it easy to refer back to them in the coming months. Overall, I highly recommend this book!

    Totally disappointing and a waste of time
  

*by W***R on August 17, 2018*









  
  
    Totally disappointing. I finished it in less than two hours—not because it was a fascinating read, but because there was little substance among the double-spaced pages. I wasn’t interested in his many stories about him and his buddies throughout. The “spiritual” and supposedly thoughtful takeaways, to me, were trite and nothing you haven’t read or heard before. This should have been a long magazine article not a book.

    A Master Storyteller

    I read the author’s first book and thought he was insane!  I still think he is insane, but now I think he is balanced.  Warning!  Don’t start this book late at night...you will not be able to put it down.  It stinks when you finish only to find out that the birds are chirping and the sun is starting to rise.  Work?  Oh no!  Now I have to double up on vitamins and avoid hitting a wall at 2:00 PM....Jessie is entertaining and his words are sincere.  His wife must be a Saint!
