Summary

"Monk's Medicine is a quest for ancient and proven wisdom and practices - a pilgrimage to ten monasteries around the world, from the roots of monasticism at a Coptic monastery in the eastern desert of Egypt to Assisi, Greece, Bhutan Montserrat and more. We follow Sarah Sands on her personal journey as she identifies common characteristics from centuries of monastic life and how they can take us beyond the self-absorption of many contemporary self-help strategies to genuine inner peace and happiness."--, Provided by publisher
