Wisdom and Words to Live By from The Urban Monk

Maybe I speak for myself when I say that I need peace in my life. If you ask my family, all I ask for is peace. Have I achieved that quintessential place of peace? Not. Even. Close. With that being said, my quest for the calm and serenity of peace continues. Let's be real, I'm a wife, mom of a teen, tween, and a tot, the latter of which is homeschooled while I work from home. My faith in peace dwindles by the minute. Then, the universe manifested, The Urban Monk. Cue the sun shining brilliantly through the clouds. Wait a minute. Who exactly is The Urban Monk? Should I respect the wisdom and words of an Urban Monk? Let's just see what this new book is all about.
