with Jesse Itzler

In his latest release, best-selling author Jesse Itzler shares how turning off his phone brought him to today's version of enlightenment: happiness, gratitude, and focus. 

Jesse Itzler, whose bestselling book Living With A SEAL took readers along on his journey to extreme physical fitness, takes us on his surprising (and surreal) trip to enlightenment in his new book Living With The Monks. As he steps away from his crazy hectic life to spend time in a monastery in rural Upstate New York he learns the value of time, simplicity, patience, and that how you do anything is how you do everything. Join him to celebrate the publication of his new book with a talk and signing!

Jesse co-founded Marquis Jet, the world’s largest prepaid private jet card company in 2001, which he and his partner sold to Berkshire Hathaway/NetJets. He then helped pioneer the coconut water craze with Zico coconut water, which he and his partners sold to The Coca-Cola Company in 2013. He is a former rapper on MTV and he produced both the NBA’s Emmy Award-winning “I Love This Game” music campaign and the popular New York Knicks anthem “Go NY Go.” When he is not running ultramarathons or being a dad to his four kids, Jesse can be found at the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks games, where he is an owner of the team. He is married to Spanx founder Sara Blakely and the couple and their 4 children live in Atlanta, Georgia. 

"LIVING WITH THE MONKS" takes us Jesse's surprising and surreal journey, as he steps away from his crazy hectic life to spend time in a monastery in rural upstate New York. It's here that Jesse learns the value of time, simplicity, patience, and that how you do anything is how you do everything. 

Book party will include a talk, signing, champagne and cheesecake (the monastery's coveted recipe)
