3.5 stars, rounded up. It's one of those times I need to rate different aspects of the book separately and then average them. I have a lot of admiration for the message of this book. It's important to remind ourselves that perfect progress is impossible, and we have to keep striving anyway. The theme gets 5 stars, and the examples were well-chosen. However the actual reading experience was more like 2 or 3 stars. Whether it was the audiobook narration or just the mental space I'm in right now, my mind kept wandering. There are moments and certain quotes that resonated, so much that I went back and re-listened, but other times I just wished I was reading something else. A single, summarized essay about this topic would've worked better for me.

Feels unfair to rate this one. My enjoyment level was around 2 stars, but I should probably have DNF'ed midway; I kept going just to fit a nonfiction book into my monthly TBR and this was fairly short (five and half hours on audio). The subtitle mislead me a bit, as did the Scribd listicle that prompted me to check this out. I expected the book to draw more connections between the monks' beliefs and practices and how people nowadays deal with distraction. It's not the book's fault that I assumed that. Read this only if you're interested in learning detailed facts about the lifestyles of medieval monks, as it won't really offer much in the way of relatable insight/advice.

Interesting, horrifying, and well-paced for nonfiction. The fact that any of these men survived is hard to believe. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed Dion Graham's narration. He has such a pleasant voice.
