Benedictine Br. David Steindl-Rast is a spiritual guru, a wise and humble man with a seemingly endless heart. He was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1926, where he studied art, anthropology, and psychology. In 1952 he followed his family to the United States and a year later joined a newly founded Benedictine community in Elmira, NY, Mount Saviour Monastery, of which he is now a senior member.

Steindl-Rast has brought spiritual depth into the lives of countless people whom he touches through his lectures, his workshops, and his writings.
He has been published widely. Two of his most widely recognized books are Gratefulness, the Heart of Prayer and A Listening Heart. He co-authored Belonging to the Universe (winner of the 1992 American Book Award), a dialogue on new paradigm thinking in science and theology with physicist, Fritjof Capra. His most recent book is Words of Common Sense for Mind, Body and Soul.
