Publisher's summary

2021 Audiobook of the Year - The British Book Awards.

The Sunday Times number one best seller.

Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the number one podcast ‘On Purpose’, distils the timeless wisdom he learned as a practising monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life.

Over the past three years, Jay Shetty has become a favourite in the hearts and minds of millions of people worldwide. One of his clips was the most watched video on Facebook last year, with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 32 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos, which have amassed more than 5 billion views, and his podcast, ‘On Purpose’, is consistently ranked the world’s #1 health-related podcast.

In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk in the Vedic tradition to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Drawing on 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.

The lessons monks learn are profound but often abstract. Shetty transforms them into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve focus, improve relationships, identify our hidden abilities, increase self-discipline and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can – and should – think like a monk

Insightful lessons

Enjoyed the book, besides the fact that the app kept on hanging. I would recommend having a print copy as opposed to listening. As there are some breathing and other exercises you'd want to go back to when sitting.

Life-changing perspective

I listened to it 2 times sequentially which is uniqueness. I tend to listen 2 or 3 books at a time but Think Like a Monk was such an intriguing, fascinating and eye-opening experience that I was glued to it. Jay explains some deep stuff in a very profound yet simple way with a lot of examples and practical tips. There is no single thing in this book that I don't adore and im obsessed by. Thank You Jay for gifting humanity with this beautiful legacy. THIS BOOK IS A MUST FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING!

Made me think about life differently

I loved every minute of this thought-provoking book. It was deep and philosophical, but also very practical. The best part was that you could feel the author's passion in every word. I will definitely listen to it again at some point. Thanks Jay Shetty!
