If you happen to be further along in your self-improvement journey, this book may repeat many things you already know. But if you are new to this genre, Think Like A Monk is a good place to start.
Title: Think Like A Monk: Train Your Mind For Peace And Purpose Everyday
By: Jay Shetty
The Skinny: Jay Shetty, a former monk, walks the reader through his troubled adolescence in London, to his life-changing decision to enter an ashram in India against the wishes of his parents, to his return with no other plan than to share the truths he has uncovered with the world.
The Pros: The book is written in clear, concise language that is both simple and engaging. Its power lies in its accessibility; like many, Shetty started out as a regular kid who struggled to find purpose in life.
The Cons: If you happen to be further along in your self-improvement journey, this book may repeat many things you already know. But if you are new to this genre, Think Like A Monk is a good place to start.
The Bottom Line: A great read, with lots of nuggets of wisdom to enrich your life and help you find meaning in it. Anyone who has ever felt alone, stuck, confused, or frustrated about the bigger issues in life can relate to the author’s philosophy. So, that’s basically all of us!
I was thinking about getting this book but I think I will skip it as I am familar with the genre and also with him and his work…I follow both him and his wife on IG and also Youtube.
Yes, you’re not missing too much then. Also, many of these topics are covered in his podcast.
Thank you 😊

Awesome. I have not read it yet but I am looking forward to it. 😇
I follow Jay on instagram, so the book seems interesting to me. Does it cover similar stuff or is there anything new?
There is a lot of overlap between his instagram and the points in the book, but that’s ok, because many of them are worth repeating 🙂
