The chronicler of this good book is Brother Ty, a failed Wall Street trader with a touch for the bottle who has chosen to mend his ways by becoming a monk. He joins the order of St. Thaddeus, whose only renown comes from the bad wine they produce. The monks are in desperate financial straits, but they are led by a remarkably ambitious Abbott whose discovery of Deepak Chopra is the start of many a strange event and revelation. Chopra, the Abbott determines from his reading of Creating Affluence, is telling the monks how to make money. For example, when Chopra writes, "Go first class all the way and the universe will respond by giving you the best," the Abbott translates this into buying brother Ty a first-class plane ticket to Chile so he can buy wine to replace the orange dreck the monks sell. And on this trip Brother Ty does strike gold, although he contends that the tip he acted upon was from God. The Abbott insists on giving the credit to Chopra. And so it goes. The monks turn to self-help gurus, Brother Ty sticks with the Almighty, and soon the monastery is awash in money, fame, and ultimately, trouble with the Feds, the Vatican, and of course, Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes.
Brother Ty, Christopher Buckley, and John Tierney have written this book unashamedly and with infectious fun, and that fun will radiate blatantly through your audio speakers. Not recommended for listeners who can't muster a laugh at issues concerning the Church, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the wisdom of Chopra and other self-help wizards. (Running time: 360 minutes, four cassettes) --A.E.D.
