Think Like a Monk is a masterwork by Jay Shetty which helps us become the architects of our own lives.

About the Book: Think like a Monk is a Self Help/ Inspirational book which takes the reader on an unforgettable journey. The author shares his experiences as a monk in an ashram in India through interesting incidents and funny anecdotes. Each page of the book is brilliantly written and changes the perspective of the reader. Jay Shetty talks about Mudita- sympathetic or vicarious joy, or the pleasure that comes from delighting in other people's well-being, the ‘Spot, Stop, Swap’ theory to overcome negative thoughts, managing emotions effectively and how fear can be looked at positively. The book helps the reader find his/her dharma (true purpose), and defines it as- Passion + Skills + Usefulness = Dharma.

This book presents ancient wisdom in a way that is relevant and useful in today’s time.

“Don’t judge the moment. As soon as you label something as bad, your mind starts to believe it. Instead, be grateful for setbacks. Allow the journey of life to progress at its own pace and in its own roundabout way. The Universe may have other plans in store for you.”

This is just one quote from the book, which is full of such meaningful lines on each page. The best part is that the book uses simple language and uncomplicated terms to explain deep principles. Think Like a Monk is a must read for each and every one of us irrespective of the age and gender!
