THINK LIKE A MONK and you will understand:
Because negativity is contagious.
How to stop overanalyzing.
Because comparison kills love.
How to use your fear.
Because you can't find happiness by looking for it.
How to learn from everyone you meet.
Because you are not your thoughts.
How to find your purpose.
Because kindness is crucial to success.
And much more...
Jay Shetty, social media superstar and creator of the No. 1 podcast On Purpose, crystallizes the timeless wisdom he learned as a Hindu monk into practical steps everyone can follow to live a life with less stress and more meaning.
Shetty grew up in a family where you could be three things – a doctor, a lawyer or a failure. His family was convinced he chose the third: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he went to India to become a monk, meditate four to eight hours a day and dedicate himself to helping others.
After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would be of more help to the world if he left monasticism to share his experience and wisdom with others. In debt and with no qualifications on his CV, Shetty returned to his hometown in north London. Many of his old friends worked for some of the world’s biggest companies.
Some were experiencing incredible stress, pressure, and misery. And they asked Shetty to guide them to live better, to gain purpose, and to empathize. Since then, Shetty has become one of the world's most popular thinkers. In this book, based on his experiences as a monk, he shows us how we can overcome the obstacles that stand in our way to power and to who we truly can be. Combining ancient wisdom with his own rich experiences in the ashram, he reveals how we can overcome negative thoughts and habits to find the peace and meaning that we all have within.
Shetty transforms abstract teachings into tips and exercises that we can all apply to reduce stress, gain greater focus, improve our relationships, and channel the gifts within us into the world. Shetty proves that everyone can—and should—think like a monk.
