Living With The Monks

Entrepreneur and bestselling author, Jesse Itzler’s next adventure takes him to a monastery where he learns to unplug, pray, and live like a monk.

Bestselling author and motivational speaker Jesse Itzler just can’t seem to sit still-ever. He has four kids, three different to-do lists, two ideas for new companies and one full-time job. In his down time he’s more likely to be in a water balloon fight with his eight year old than he is to be sitting alone in thought. The daily multitasking was catching up to him and he found himself overwhelmed and underperforming. But it wasn’t until he challenged his wife to a game of rock-paper-scissor during the exchanging of vows at a friend’s wedding ceremony that he realized he needed an adult timeout.

LIVING WITH THE MONKS takes us to a remote monastery in Cambridge, New York with the world’s most unlikely visitor-Jesse Itzler a professional can’t sit stiller.

What ensues is the equivalent of a two week slumber party with the Dalai Lama, Yoda and Cesar Millan the dog whisperer-filled with robes and reflection. The follow up adventure to “Living With a SEAL” is a hilarious journey through the minds and practices of the monks of New Skete. In the end, Itzler unlocks key ingredients to less stress, being fully present and most importantly-ultimate happiness.
