I feel as stress of modern lifestyle results in people experiencing mental health issues like self harming,abuse,addiction or even suicide,mental health professionals play a pivotal role to restore mind body imbalances.so traditionally monks played the role of counsellor,conflict resolution,psychotherapist in society to restore peace of mind for followers.
Stephen Batchelor was a former Zen Tibetan monk who disrobed and returned to secular life training people in mindfulness and meditation to find peace of mind.Robin Sharmas book the monk who sold his Ferrari was a motivational self help bestseller so this maths genius has found his calling in life in spiritual path and now returns to secular life to train mental health professionals as at the end of the day thats what gives him contentment and not how society expects him to live.
