In her latest memoir, spiritual writer Kathleen Norris depicts her efforts to overcome acedia, a condition characterized by apathy and soul-weariness and described in religious texts. We talk with the author and poet about that book, "Acedia and Me: A Marriage, Monks, and A Writer's Life." Norris' previous books include "The Cloister Walk and Dakota: A Spiritual Geography."
