From the jacket, I didn't realize how much of this book would be about Faith and our relationships with God. Being agnostic, I found those parts were a little excessive.  Aside from that and a little redundancy towards the end of his stay at the monastery, I found his memoir pretty fascinating. 

My parents live in an area with a fairly dense Mennonite and Amish population.  I've always wondered why they embraced some technologies and not others. Willis' explanation about how they are worried some of those technologies, like television, would pull engagement away from the community that is the core value in their culture was enlightening.

The book has inspired me to cut out all social media platforms (except for storygraph!) for a week.  We will see how it goes!
