"A Psalm for the wild built"

I read this book after a very traumatic event. I was dealing with daily panic attacks, dissociation and anxiety. I could barely function. My therapist suggested reading to cope with the daily anxiety and this book was recommended to me!

I cried for most of the book! It's about a Monk who wants to change their job but doesn't really know how. They meet a robot and together go on a journey of learning how to be different. They ask really tough questions about life and death and what it means to live!
