Monk or hermit …

… The Eremitic Option - by William F. Vallicella.

 Must one be an introvert to be a hermit?  No. The most interesting hermit I know is an extrovert who in his younger days was a BMOC, excellent at sports, successful at 'the chase,' who ended up on Wall Street, became very wealthy, indulged his every appetite, but then had a series of profound religious experiences that inspired him to sell all he owned and follow Christ, first into a cenobium, then into a hermitage.

 I am rather well-trained and well-read n philosophy. In my view Philosophy in Progress is a must-read.
