Finding Sanctuary by Abbot Christopher Jamison is the book of the tv programme the Monastery. It bills itself as a guide to finding monastic steps for and in everyday life.
It's one of those books which initially seems really fluffy and somehow other worldly but in reality is really challenging and rooted deep in the reality of modern society. One chapter entitled "How Did I get this Busy?" points out that the busy nature of modern life is not something that just happens it is a result of us making choices and opting in to the spirit of the age.
It's one of those books worth reading, just to make you think.
