OverviewA literary memoir like no other, Monk of Park Avenue recounts novelist and martial master Monk Yon Rou's spiritual journey of self-discovery. A spiritual journey with extraordinary encounters. Yon Rou's memoir is a kaleidoscopic ride through the upper echelons of New York Society and the nature-worshipping, sword-wielding world of East Asian religious and martial arts. Monk of Park Avenue divulges a privileged childhood in Manhattan, followed by the bitter rigors of kung fu in China and meditations in Daoist temples. Join Yon Rou's adventure as he encounters kings, Nobel laureates, and the Mob. Meet celebrities along the way. A story of love, loss, persistence, triumph, and mastery, The Monk of Park Avenue is peopled with the likes of Milos Forman, Richard Holbrooke, Paul McCartney, Warren Beatty, and now-infamous opioid purveyors, the Sackler Family. Yun Rou's memoir is no mere celebrity tell-all, but a novelist and martial master's path to self-discovery. The Monk of Park Avenue offers you: ● Paths for personal and spiritual growth ● Anecdotal stories of self-discovery and insights into how to live ● An eloquent, candid exploration of spiritual transformation Full Product DetailsAuthor: Yun Rou , Rick AdamsonPublisher: Tantor Audio Imprint: Tantor Audio ISBN: 9798212292368Publication Date: 19 July 2022 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Audio Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
