Description

«You need to get lost to find your way.»

The protagonist of this true story could potentially be any of its readers. The twists, surprises, and emotions it holds are, on a small scale, the definition of human life.

And if there is something this personal story aspires to achieve, it is precisely to inspire its readers with the courage to live their lives as their heart and mind dictate.

September 1973. Manhattan, a global commercial and business center. In Athens, the escalating student protests against the Junta of the Colonels foreshadow the great Polytechnic uprising in November of the same year.

The apparent socio-political tension and insecurity in the country lead Petros to decide to leave behind his homeland and family and go to study in New York, the metropolis of the world.

How much does the American dream and the philosophy of "sky is the limit" influence his personal self-actualization and happiness?

January 2020. In the end, how many miles separate apparent success from true happiness?

If with the story of The Monk Who Became CEO the principles of Athonite Management were communicated to the business and wider reading public, with the book From Manhattan to Mount Athos, the path of inner vision (or liberation) is illuminated as the only path to our personal happiness.

    It is not the book that will change your life.
    For its small dimensions and its small number of pages, it is expensive at over 11€.

    I read it in one breath on an afternoon.
    For anyone who has visited Mount Athos at least once, thousands of images will come to mind.
    "Doing what your heart tells you and not staying in the shoulds" is what I believe the book deals with

    From the 5-star reviews, I had high expectations that I would like it since self-improvement is something that interests me. However, I found it from mediocre to just good... If someone is closer to religion, they may "connect" more with the history and find it more interesting.

  • Book that is read without interruption (I read it in a few hours) as its writing style gives the plot an oral quality. The protagonist's true story definitely raises questions for the reader and makes them think about how they want to proceed with their life. Especially in its final pages, significant life lessons are revealed, which perhaps we all think about but ultimately have not calculated the impact they will have on our daily lives if and when we apply them or at least try to approach them.

  • You really have to get lost to find your way. Excellent story, nothing is guaranteed and we constantly have to search for happiness. It comes through roads we haven't imagined. Excellent!
