Think Like a Monk


Listen Later

From Jay Shetty's book "Think Like a Monk," presents a comprehensive self-help guide based on monastic wisdom and the author's personal experience. Shetty contrasts the "monkey mind"—characterized by distraction, comparison, and temporary fixes—with the "monk mind," which promotes focus, intentional living, and genuine solutions. Key themes include detaching from external influences and societal definitions of success, managing negativity and fear by tracing them to their roots, and finding "dharma"(purpose) by aligning one’s passions and skills with the world's needs. The book emphasizes the transformative power of daily routines, forgiveness, gratitude, and selfless service (seva) as necessary practices for achieving inner peace, genuine happiness, and living a meaningful life free from ego and attachment.
