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 résumé, 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. Since then, Shetty has become one of the world’s most popular influencers. In 2017, he was named in the Forbes magazine 30-under-30 for being a game-changer in the world of media. In 2018, he had the #1 video on Facebook with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 38 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos which have amassed more than 8 billion views, and his podcast, On Purpose, is consistently ranked the world’s #1 Health and Wellness podcast.

In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Combining ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can—and should—think like a monk.

"Jay Shetty, the British writer and narrator of this audiobook, showcases his considerable talent for motivational speaking as he explains his methods for reducing everyday stress. As a former Indian monk, he practiced how to live a clean and serene life. His keen observations and magnetic delivery will appeal to even the most materially driven individuals.

He also introduces simple mantras to help clear the mind and uses easy directions to keep the recommended body movements fluid. As a monk, he was taught to believe that one's natural abilities are revealed through service to others. Shetty's dynamic presentation will convince listeners to consider giving these practices a try."

Simply amazing!

I'm an otr driver and was having a lot codependency issues with myself. I've read a few books about mindlessness thinking and meditation and got to this book. I LOVE IT! He confirms everything I need help with in my life and is so detailed on how to get started and continuously work on myself. I recommend this book for everyone. If we all thought like monks we wouldn't have most of the problems we have today. It's very calming and after just a day from reading I already feel 100% like a better version of myself. The people around me feel it too.

Life Altering, Beautiful and Clear

I had never heard of Jay before. I stumbled upon this book and it turned out to be one of the best books I’ve read. I’m Listening to approximately 20 books per year, and this one I have to say absolutely grabbed me and taught me what direction my life it’s going to head in. I didn’t find this book as much as this book found me. The author explains very clearly and easy to understand the teachings/lessons of what he experienced. Anyone of any age can relate and Learn from this book.

Jays passion is contagious

Just as Jay fell in love after hearing Guaranga Das speak, I’ve fallen in love with Jays passion and “thinking like a Monk”. Every word is powerful and transforming. It’s one of those books you have to listen to more than once to absorb it. Plus take advantage of all the tools Jay provides on how to apply what he teaches. In times of uncertainty, what I’m learning from Jay is helping me develop a new perspective and see things like daily routine as a positive and something that I can enjoy. There’s so much to learn you can get overwhelmed. Take your time getting thought it. Break each chapters into two listening sessions. Let yourself really hear what he is sharing. It’s gold for your well being, contentment and ultimate happiness. I can’t wait to finish and start over and continue the journey I’ve started. Thank you Jay! ❤️

Loved it!

I would highly recommend this book! So much insight. Things you don’t normally think about, I had so many A-ha! Moments!
