E138 - Daniele Cybulskie, How to Live Like a Monk

Danièle Cybulskie has been researching and writing about the Middle Ages for over a decade. She is the author of The Five-Minute Medievalist and is a featured writer at Medievalists.net. A former college professor and specialist in medieval literature and Renaissance drama, her work has been published across international magazines, spanning topics from The Hundred Years’ War to Roman togas. Her mission is to make history fun, entertaining, and engaging, as well as to draw attention to our shared human nature across the centuries.

Today, we talked about her latest book, How to Live Like a Monk. Publishers Weekly gives the book great reviews, saying, “This beautifully illustrated self-help guide . . . reimagines monastic practices to help readers live with greater peace, simplicity and purpose.”

Danièle, thank you for a thought-provoking book and discussion.
