Book Review:
In Think Like a Monk, former monk and popular content creator Jay Shetty translates ancient wisdom into practical tools for modern life. The book is structured as a transformative journey, guiding readers to overcome negativity, find their purpose, and achieve peace.
Shetty draws on his years of monastic training in India, blending timeless Vedic and Buddhist philosophies with neuroscience and psychology. He addresses common struggles like anxiety, comparison, and fear of failure, offering clear exercises for meditation, reframing thoughts, letting go of ego, and serving others. The core message is that peace and purpose are not found by escaping the world, but by training the mind to navigate it with wisdom and compassion.
The writing is engaging, honest, and filled with relatable stories from Shetty's own life—from his corporate days to his time in the ashram. It stands out for its structured approach, moving from letting go of negative influences to cultivating positive habits and ultimately finding one's true calling. It's a comprehensive manual for anyone seeking a more intentional, calm, and meaningful life in our chaotic times.
