We know that they prayed, sang, and wore long robes, but what was it really like to be a monk? Though monastic living may seem unimaginable to us moderns, it has relevance for today. This book illuminates the day-to-day of medieval European monasticism, showing how you can apply the principles of monastic living, like finding balance and peace, to your life.

With wit and insight, medievalist and podcaster Danièle Cybulskie dives into the history of monasticism in each chapter and then reveals applications for today, such as the benefits of healthy eating, streamlining routines, gardening, and helping others. She shares how monks authentically embraced their spiritual calling, and were also down to earth: they wrote complaints about being cold in the manuscripts they copied, made beer and wine, and even kept bees.

How to Live Like a Monk features original illustrations by Anna Lobanova, as well as more than eighty color reproductions from medieval manuscripts. It is for anyone interested in the Middle Ages and those seeking inspiration for how to live a full life, even when we're confined to the cloister of our homes.

Spot on!
Size: 16.5" Neck 32"-33" Sleeve, Color: Lemon Glaze
Fits really well. Not for fatties. Pale yellow is nice. Collar stays are sewn in and permanent.

Love these shirts
Size: 18.5" Neck 36"-37" Sleeve, Color: Persian Blue
Beautiful dark blue color. Soft and well made. Comes out of dryer with minimal wrinkles but not starched looking. A little bit of stretch to it. Does not have the neck extender button. It is a slimmer cut through the waistline for those with wider shoulder but not a bigger belly. It is lightweight especially for FL summers but not thin and see through. Great shirt for work.

Awesome.
Color: Silver Blue Brown
Loved it! I can hardly hear it run, its so quiet! It's very easy to read and looks quite classy. The leather strap has also held up very well to normal wear.

A Great Value for the Time
Color: Rose Gold Black
Beautiful watch that looks far more expensive than it is. The rose gold finish is very attractive, and the black faux leather band goes well with it. It tells time accurately. The only caveat is the date window which is so tiny that it's very difficult to read when not under direct light. I am very pleased with my purchase.
