Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast On Purpose, distills the timeless wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life.When you think like a monk, you'll understand: -How to overcome negativity -How to stop overthinking -Why comparison kills love -How to use your fear -Why you can't find happiness by looking for it -How to learn from everyone you meet -Why you are not your thoughts -How to find your purpose -Why kindness is crucial to success -And much more... Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things-a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk's path to share his experience and wisdom with others. Heavily in debt, and with no recognizable skills on his resume, he moved back home in north London with his parents. Shetty reconnected with old school friends-many working for some of the world's largest corporations-who were experiencing tremendous stress, pressure, and unhappiness, and they invited Shetty to coach them on well-being, purpose, and mindfulness.

A practical guide

First of all....this book quotes the film "Dan in Real Life". Already a win in my book. I had heard Jay Shetty speak on a podcast and so was interested in his book about his time as a monk. I really thought that's what this book would be about but it is so much more. Think Like a Monk does touch upon Shetty's experiences during his years of monk training at an ashram in India but what I really loved were all the real-life applications that he includes. Shetty reviews the history and the "why" behind various practices and techniques of what he calls the monk mind but then goes a step further with his "try this" tips which bring these practices into the reader's current setting and shows them how to apply them to their own lives. Think LIke a Monk is a book I would recommend to everyone...especially now when life is busier and more stressful than ever. This will be one to keep nearby as a re-read and refresher.

New Favorite Book! Inspirational & Life Changing!

I admit, I'm one of those people who has allowed negativity and fear to rule my life for far to long. Life has knocked me down more times than I want to admit. For the past few years I've been following Jay, but until lately I haven't been in a place where I can take the time to delve into my life. Jay has been able to make deep and profound concepts and make them accessible for everyone to understand and to change your life for the good. This is a book to have by your side always. It's already been highlighted with notes in the margin. It's a hope that this is a book that everyone has in their personal library.
