About this audiobook

2021 Audiobook of the Year – The British Book Awards

The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller

Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast ā€˜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 recent years, Jay Shetty has become a favourite in the hearts and minds of millions of people worldwide. 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, ā€˜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, boost 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.

I'm sorry but a man who knowingly rips off other people's work, who claims those words as his own in order to profit from others genius is not thinking like a monk, he's thinking like a plagiarizing capitalist. Jay Shetty was called out on his thievery and shady ways and it makes me wonder how much of this book is other people's genius duping people into believing that he came up with it.

Do something for yourself. Buy this and you will not regret it. Jey Shetty addresses and makes you really question how you think about every day life and how you can possibly change your way of thinking to allow you to live happier. If you want some sort of education around this topic, then this book is perfect for it. Give it a go.
