God Is My Broker

Short review: This is traditionally Christopher Buckley. Great satire, good writing. This time the set up is a group of wine making monks. They realize they are broke and start getting desprerate. The abbot reads Deepak Chopra and decides that the monks need to start following the lead of the self help gurus.

This is a great skewering of self help books, Wall Street, and a bit of the Catholic Church. The best scene is when the monks take up sides with all the different self help gurus and the Chopraites, the Coveyites, the Robbinites, etc. all debate the best ways to find wealth and solve their problems.

It looks like the book is out of print and I listened to an abridge audiobook (only one that was available). But if you find it, it is well worth reading.
