Sillicon Valley's 'Secular Monks': Why Tech Billionaires Live Like Monks (And What Real Monks Think)

In this conversation, I speak with Bishop Erik Varden, a Cistercian monk and a Catholic bishop of the diocese of Trondheim (Norway), about the parallels between Silicon Valley tech leaders and traditional monasticism. We compare the practices of someone like Jack Dorsey, who maintains daily meditation, cold baths, and minimalist lifestyle, with the spiritual practices of Christian and Hindu monks. What drives this search for structure and meaning? Is there a universal impulse toward monasticism regardless of belief system? Or are these secular adaptations missing the essence of the true monastic tradition? 📺 Original episode:    • Wisdom of the Desert: contemplation, art a...   🇬🇧 All interviews in English:    • Interviews in English   ❤️ Support us on Patreon to enjoy exclusive advantages:   / laencrucijada   💸 One-time donations (thank you): https://paypal.com/paypalme/podcastla... 🎙️ Who are we?
