Outstanding autobiography. A modern day Confessions.

This is the story of the conversion of Father Raphael Simon from an atheistic unobservant Jew to a Cistercian monk. His intellectual brilliance is muted by his humble self effacing language. His conversion is described rather unemotionally which for me was a drawback. Nonetheless, his analysis of psychiatry and philosopy (or lack of it) in the early 20th century were illuminating and still very relevant.
