The man is looking for a source of spirituality and peace. So he reads self-help book after self-help book and tries to live their programs (and inflict them on the staff, the school board and the students) and they don't work. And the real answer surrounds him every single day at work in a Catholic community.
Except I think he doesn't want to find an answer in his faith because that answer is not quite so easy. Living true Christianity cannot be defined down to a set of steps that always include happy thoughts. It's a messy, difficult business.
So I feel sorry for him. He's never going to find the mercy and peace you speak of from a life coach or a motivational book.
