From Manhattan to Mount Athos (The Holy Mountain)

Περιγραφή:

“You need to get lost to find your way.”

The protagonist of the true story is potentially each of its readers. The twists, surprises and thrills it has in store, are on a micro-scale the definition of human life. And if the recording of this personal story aspires to achieve something, it is precisely to inspire its readers with the courage to live their lives as their hearts and minds dictate.

September 1973. In Athens, the escalating student mobilizations against the Junta of Colonels foreshadow the great uprising of the Polytechnic University in November of the same year. The looming socio-political tension and insecurity in the country lead Petros in the decision to leave his homeland and family behind and go to study in New York, the metropolis of the world. How much does the American dream and the “sky is the limit” philosophy affect him to his personal self-actualization and happiness?

January 2020. After all, how many kilometers of road separate the apparent success from true happiness? If with the story of the book The Monk Who Became CEO the principles of the Athonic management were contacted at business and general readership, with this book From Manhattan to Mount Athos the path of inner seeing (or liberation) is illuminated as the only path to our personal
happiness.

“When I was thirty, I wanted to be successful.
Over time I realized my desire to be happy!”
