About the book
Train your mind for peace, purpose, and fulfillment—Jay Shetty shows you how in this #1 New York Times bestselling guide to mindfulness, meaning, and success.
Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast On Purpose, shares the transformative lessons he learned during his years as a monk in India and reveals how these ancient practices can help you live a less anxious, more meaningful, and more fulfilled life every day.
When you think like a monk, you’ll learn to:
- Overcome negativity and silence the noise of overthinking
- Break free from the traps of comparison, fear, and self-doubt
- Find lasting happiness by connecting with your true purpose
- Master your mind and cultivate positive habits that support growth
- Practice kindness, gratitude, and service to others
Jay’s story begins with a bold decision: skipping his college graduation to live as a monk in India, meditating for up to eight hours a day and dedicating his life to selflessness, discipline, and spiritual growth. After three transformative years, a teacher encouraged him to reenter the modern world and share his wisdom for the benefit of others. With no job and no money, Jay moved back in with his parents in London. Despite these challenges, his message quickly resonated.
From coaching stressed-out corporate professionals to becoming one of the most influential voices in personal growth, Jay Shetty has helped millions worldwide find peace, clarity, and purpose. With over 38 million followers, 8 billion video views, and recognition on Forbes’ 30-under-30 list, his teachings continue to inspire and empower people across the globe.
Think Like a Monk blends ancient wisdom with real-life application. Each chapter offers clear insights, powerful stories, and practical exercises designed to help you:
- Reduce stress and enhance your mental well-being
- Deepen your relationships and build stronger connections
- Discover, embrace, and live your true purpose
