Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty Book Summary

Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast On Purpose, distills the timeless wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life.

When you think like a monk, you’ll understand:
-How to overcome negativity
-How to stop overthinking
-Why comparison kills love
-How to use your fear
-Why you can’t find happiness by looking for it
-How to learn from everyone you meet
-Why you are not your thoughts
-How to find your purpose
-Why kindness is crucial to success
-And much more...

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others. Heavily in debt, and with no recognizable skills on his résumé, he moved back home in north London with his parents.

Shetty reconnected with old school friends—many working for some of the world’s largest corporations—who were experiencing tremendous stress, pressure, and unhappiness, and they invited Shetty to coach them on well-being, purpose, and mindfulness. Since then, Shetty has become one of the world’s most popular influencers. In 2017, he was named in the Forbes magazine 30-under-30 for being a game-changer in the world of media. In 2018, he had the #1 video on Facebook with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 38 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos which have amassed more than 8 billion views, and his podcast, On Purpose, is consistently ranked the world’s #1 Health and Wellness podcast.

In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Combining 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. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can—and should—think like a monk.

Eye opening!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I was going through a tough phase in my life in which I made a terrible decision that left me feeling depressed. I could not figure out the root of the problem until I read this book and reflect on myself. This book helps me find ways to shift my perspective and to aspire to find my true purpose. Thanks Jay!

My favorite book!. This book is incredible and amazing! I recommend for anyone that is looking for clarity, internal happiness, re-evaluation of your values and more for the tools to continue to make your life better. I haven’t been able to put the book down. Really life changing and I am so grateful for Jay Shetty for writing it! ❤️

Great book. Very insightful !

Life changing. Say what you wanna say. I enjoyed the book and has allowed me to pass on some of the things I read to other people. I would read this again. I bought the book and digital book.

Excellent! Highly recommended!. This book was excellent! I will continue to practice all that I’ve learned to become a better version of myself!

Plagiarism. This guy steals everything.

Guide to life…. I literally asked my 26 y/o daughter to keep this book with her, should I die and she need guidance in life. Lol! Kidding…but …not really.

Excellent. I discovered Jay on a podcast and loved that episode. I was happy to buy and read his book. It’s an enjoyable read and gives you something to think about.

Self. This book caused me to focus on who I am, where I want to be, how I might strive to be who I want to be and where I want to be.

A profound shift. This book. Jay’s words have created an internal shift forever. I now know that I think like a monk because I understand that I am always learning, Always evolving, always serving. Thank you jay.

Not an original thought in this mans head. Having worked in an MLM in the past and knowing people in the “self help” and “mindfulness” industry very well , this man has “borrowed” quotes from everyone across the board from Mark Twain to random modern memes. It’s one thing to borrow or emulate, completely another to take credit for and push the source aside. Self help mlm aggregator at best.

Making room. I believe that things come into my life when I’m in need of them. I’ve been learning to keep my mind, heart and body open and ready for these moments. Meditation has been on my mind for a while and I feel I’ve been making excuses. Think Like a Monk has allowed me to stop and evaluate myself on a different level. It has given me an outline of a life I can start living today. Jay Shetty’s words have provided comfort, guidance and clarity. Thank you for your words and being you. I recommend this book to all my friends and every clients in my chair at the barbershop.

Lol nope. I was a firm believer that your wardrobe was just for a level of book cover etiquette. But this is absolute nonsense of a title alone. Within the introduction you mentioned your pristine life in California being very well off. Regret to inform you and other people on this planet but talking about your experiences within a temple, make it accessible to the plebs and take their money for your template is not any mindset of any monk who ever existed. On that level no one should waste their time, energy or money on a person so withdrawn from what they feel they represent. If you seek insight from someone like this for your purpose. You are in for a rude awakening within your soul.

Must read!. I have always been a fan of Jay’s podcasts and Facebook videos which made me so excited to read his new book. I read it a few months back and it was nothing short of amazing! He is so wise and was able to phrase things into an easily understandable way. I will be reading again because there is so much knowledge to be taken away from this book! Thanks Jay!!

10/10. I’m leaving this review before I’ve finished even half of the book. It’s unbelievable how relatable and comforting this is to me. Not only that, but Jay also gives thorough explanations and insight into how to recognize and specifically address each topic he discusses. I can’t imagine ever finding a better self-help style book than this one.

The best book ever!!. This book really is amazing!! It has lessons for your life not for some situations but for most situations. The book teaches the importance of calmness, and detachment which is very much needed in today’s world. Most importantly it teaches how working on yourself internally is just as important if not even more important than working on yourself externally. Think like a monk is already my favorite book and yet I haven’t finished it yet!! Jay Shetty really realizes a book that has priceless wisdom!! Congrats Jay on your success and thank you for sharing this awesome wisdom with us

Amazing book!. This book is amazing and it has truly helped me in so many ways!

Good and practical. Good easy read with practical practices to highlight and come back to.

Perspective is everything. This book came to me right on time when I have decided to make new commitments and sacrifices in my life. I also love the meditations that were suggested, especially the death one. great book overall! I highly recommend & throughly enjoyed. 🙌🏾✨

Starting my monk life. Jay has a special gift. I flew through this book, just finished, and I already want to go back through it again. This is one with so much knowledge and great tools that I will be diving back in and sharing with friends and business partners as I go.

Purpose!. I’m going to read this book over and over again. The lessons are so impactful and necessary, it offers practical ways to demonstrate the lessons everyday. If there was any more reasons to love Jay Shetty, this book is it!

Best book.. This book is one of the best book I’ve ever read

Very timely book. I really enjoyed “Think Like A Monk.” It was very timely given the current state of the world, and what we are collectively experiencing. I recently began exploring my mindset (it’s a journey) and this book really helped me put it all together. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us, Jay.

Amazing book!. What a beautiful human being. This book is Life change! I will always come back to this book and read it again and again and again.

Great book!. Everyone should read this. Great insights!

Soul nourishing. Such a calming read. Grounding and refreshing at the same time!

Views and values on life. I really enjoyed this book. It gave me a lot of clarity and prospective on life.

Amazing!!!. Loved it! I literally recommend this book to everyone! It applies to so many different moments in our daily lives. Truly, this was a life changing book. Thank you, thank you, thank you, so much for writing this!

Amazing. This book has changed my perspective on life in the best way possible. This book will help anyone that struggles with mental health or anyone period! Highly recommend.

Nice!!!. Well written with smart insights. Sometimes too long and repetitive but I can understand the Author’s is just trying to make a point. There’s a bunch of books out there like this one or better. This one is good though.
