Well Planet: Fitness as a Spiritual Discipline

Before becoming a monk, Brother Mark O’Reilly was an extraordinary small-town physician. With his guru-like clarity, this one-hundred-year-old sage introduced fitness as a spiritual discipline to his student, Hope. His timeless wisdom is for everyone who has fought the demons of weight loss and won, then lost. Then gained, then lost. For the sake of our personal health, or neighbor, and the planet, we have never had a timelier message to embrace—once again.
