In a hermitage at the top of a mountain lives the holy man. Every summer a long line of pilgrims queues at the hermitage entrance and each pilgrim is hoping for words of wisdom from the holy man that will heal their lives. There is the impatient woman who learns peace, the jealous man who learns trust, the famous man who learns humility and the guilty mercenary who finds a mission. In each of the many characters we can see mirrored something of ourselves. Some learn their lessons from other pilgrims, some from the holy man himself; others find answers from the experience of being on the mountain. These stories unravel the knots of everyday anxieties with profound ease, humor, wisdom, and elegance. Perhaps the most winning feature of this book is that we are all in here, somewhere, with our wounded egos, insecurities, bad tempers, impatience and ambitiousness. The Holy man shows us the good we already have in us but cannot see.
