About Us

Jake and the Monk is more than just a book—it’s a transformational movement rooted in over 50 years of real-life counseling, spiritual guidance, and deep emotional healing. After thousands of hours of helping people overcome trauma, burnout, anxiety, and the pursuit of meaning, author and counselor Lynn E. O’Leary founded Jake and the Monk.

At the heart of our mission is the belief that every challenge is a sacred classroom and that anyone can reshape their reality through truth, mindfulness, and intention.

Through the compelling friendship of Jake and the Monk, readers explore practical tools for emotional wellness, mindset shifts, and manifestation techniques based on the Law of Attraction, neuroscience, and lived experience. Our stories are based on actual people and events; there is no fiction or filler—just pure, powerful transformation.

Jake and the Monk provides timeless wisdom, researched ideas, and inspirational case studies to support your journey, whether you’re coping with trauma, grief, or a desire for greater wealth and joy.

One page, one breakthrough, one miracle at a time, become a part of our expanding audience that is choosing to Ask, Believe, and Receive.

This is not just a story. It’s your invitation to wake up to the life waiting for you.
