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 Daniele 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 colour 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.
