The bestselling authors of "How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend" show how their strong connections with dogs and the natural world stem from the principles of monastic life. 14 line drawings.
The Monks of New Skete believe human beings were created to be happy, and that the elements of a monk's life -- self-discipline, prayer, acts of love and forgiveness -- are the pathways anyone can follow to achieve true happiness. Taking us inside a contemporary American monastic community, In the Spirit of Happiness shares the monks' continuing quest for spiritual fulfillment, and offers fresh insights into improving relationships with other people as well as new ways of connecting to the divine.
