“A very good friend of mine recently gave me a copy. It’s not a sit-down-and-read-it-in-one session type of book. But I was facing some challenging moments, and she left a copy on my desk with a note that said, ‘You need this.’ I opened a page randomly, and read, ‘Know yourself, and you will win all battles.’ It resonated immediately with me. Sometimes founding a company is like a war–you need discipline, a game plan, confidence, and to understand the enemy (competition). I keep it on my desk for moments when I’m finding things tough.

11. The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton
“Seven Storey Mountain,” tells the story of Merton‘s conversion to Roman Catholicism and his commitment to the monastic way of life within the Cistercian (Trappist) Order of the Benedictine Tradition. The book begins by reviewing the loneliness of Merton’s childhood. His mother died when he was six, and his father died ten years later. Merton was subsequently shuffled between temporary accommodations in France, England, and finally the United States. As a boy, Merton was given nominal exposure to Anglican and Protestant Christianity. However, in his late teen years, Merton rejected religious faith entirely. His motto was “I believe in nothing”.
As “Seven Storey Mountain” continues, Merton appears as a restless, rather directionless young man who tried but failed to find satisfaction in secular ideals and institutions such as academia, literature, and revolutionary politics. Merton reported finding ultimate truth within Roman Catholic doctrine upon his formal conversion at the age of 23, and true peace and fulfillment as a monk at Gethsemani Abbey. He described the apparent confinement of the cloistered life as “the four walls of my new freedom.”
