Redefining Being Self-ish: My Journey From Escort to Monk to Me is an inspirational and intimate memoir. An unorthodox story told with unflinching candor, it will appeal to all readers on the quest for a meaningful life.

Meet Sarah. She's twenty-two and facing a second unplanned pregnancy. Depressed and disillusioned, she sets out on a pilgrimage to understand sex, God, and herself. Sarah's path includes revisiting her ancestral roots in Judaism, exploring transformational work in the sex trade, and diving into Eastern-inspired new age spirituality.

While wandering, she meets Sam, a New York baby-boomer-turned-monk living a life unplugged from society in remote, rural Oregon. With Sam, Sarah settles into a disciplined life of study, contemplation, meditation, and silence-leaving her career, friends, and family behind. Bound by the tranquility of intentional simplicity and navigating the wilderness of her own mind, Sarah unravels. She could never have anticipated what her journey of self-discovery would ask of her next.

Redefining Being Self-ish sheds light on the value and trade-offs of being wisely selfish and illuminates the importance of self-inquiry in finding your unique path and purpose.
