The Monastery Calling: Finding Silence in a Noisy World
Standing in his living room at 4:53 a.m., Jesse Itzler was already deep into emails and texts when his Navy SEAL trainer spotted his phone and mockingly erupted: "You need to clear your mind." Despite having it all - four children, successful businesses, and a loving wife (Spanx founder Sara Blakely) - Jesse felt overwhelmed by constant connectivity. Something inside him craved silence. He needed a reset - a self-imposed time-out that would create a different kind of edge. This yearning would lead him on an unexpected journey to a monastery, trading his entrepreneur's lifestyle for a monk's cell, seeking wisdom that boardrooms couldn't provide. What began as a vague spiritual quest would transform into fifteen days of profound lessons that would reshape his relationship with time, effort, and happiness itself.
