Entrepreneur and one-time rapper (under the name Jesse Jaymes) Jesse Itzler's life is bold and risky until he realizes he's ready for a major change. He decides to take up residence with the New Skete monks, a Russian Orthodox religious order in upstate New York. What he learns about the monks-- and himself-- is the focus of this memoir.
