What is No Man Is an Island about?

The classic collection of essays for those seeking spiritual wisdom from the religious scholar, Trappist monk, and author of The Seven Storey Mountain . A recapitulation of his earlier work Seeds of Contemplation , this collection of sixteen essays plumbs aspects of human spirituality. Merton addresses those in search of enduring values, fulfillment, and salvation in prose that is, as always, inspiring and compassionate. "A stimulating series of spiritual reflections which will prove helpful for all struggling to find the meaning of human existence and to live the richest, fullest, and noblest life" ( Chicago Tribune ). Praise for Thomas Merton "He is perhaps the proper patron saint of our information-saturated age, of we who live and move and have our being in social media, and then, desperate for peace and rest, withdraw into privacy and silence, only to return. As we always will."#8212; The New Yorker "Merton wrote of ageless spiritual life and religious devotion with the knowledge of a modern."#8212; The New York Times "It is undoubtedly one of the most significant accounts of conversion from the modern temper to God that our time has seen."#8212; America Magazine on The Seven
