Mediocre Monk Av Grant Lindsley

<div><p><b>"I loved—and to a slightly uncomfortable degree related to—this book."</b></p><p></p><p><b>Charles Bethea, staff writer at <i>The New Yorker</i></b></p><p>Funny, perceptive, and deeply personal, <i>Mediocre Monk</i> follows Grant Lindsley’s rocky journey toward spiritual growth—one that ultimately leads him to places he never imagined.</p><p>After the sudden death of a friend, Grant Lindsley abandons his corporate job to train as a monk in one of the strictest Buddhist traditions on earth. Lost and bereft, he believes he can find answers in the mountains of Thailand. He shaves his head and eyebrows, eats one bowl of food a day, and lives in a cave, his solitude punctuated by brushes with snakes, scorpions, and drug smugglers.</p><p>But Lindsley can’t transform himself into the profound guru he envisions—he’s hungry, restless, and lacking in the humility that monkhood requires.
