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.

Actual rating: 4. But I'm giving this book 5, it's because this' Jay's first book. Haven't finished reading. It's basically my first impression. Most likely this will be my final impression as well!
Who should buy this book?
Anybody with interest in reading. If you're capable of reading a book within a month then you could buy!
Who shouldn't buy this book?
1. This book is not for someone who wants a book as an aid to overcome fear, depression, loneliness, addition, negative thoughts, relationship struggles...
2. Introduction to all the problems under the sky or maybe above the sky are written in this book...
3. Those who already practice mindfulness, meditation, yoga might not find much stuff in this book...
Things that will be interesting...
1. You might think that maybe Jay is the wisest person in the universe.
2. It's because he didn't dilute the subject matter. But he has made the content more relatable to 2020.
Annoying things...
1. Sometimes you might find Jay like a kid praising teacher to get extra marks or get some chocolates.
2. Don't get me wrong... Without fail he has written few words about people who has acknowledged his book!
3. Sometimes you might get a feel like, I should become famous within 5 years & Jay will write about me
4. You'll definitely find stuff you might not want to take from a book.
Do you want to become rich or make him rich...
1. It's obvious, like in almost all the books, you'll find some marketing stuff at the end of the book.
2. There's nothing wrong in that stuff but again are you ready to spend money to listen to him and to learn from him?
3. If you read some other self help book or teachings of the people that this book relies on; you'll notice that you're drawn towards meditation, positive thinking, changing lifestyle...
4. Unfortunately this book has the tendency to draw readers more towards Jay rather than meditation or mindfulness...
5. It's like a fitness trainer inviting you to gym.. but rather than guiding you to exercise and get fit, the trainer is more interested in selling supplements!
Still if you're reading this review...
1. Go ahead and grab a copy of this book.
2. Suppose, if you're surrounded by people who give you advice, & you don't know how they became instant genius, chances are they might have read something from this book or anything from similar books
3. A must read for readers who wants to know what's the current trend in the self help category...
Simple advice...
1. I followed few rules which I have broken when I bought this book..
2. Here's the rule: When it comes to self help, inspiration or mindfulness buy the book written by the person who's an expert in that field, maybe a doctor, or phycologist, or someone who's known for their specific talent like music, etc...
3. Another rule of thumb... It's better to buy self help book written by someone who's already dead or someone who's about to die. It's because you have their whole life before you before buying their books!
I think this is my first review....
Why I'm reviewing this book?
Honestly I'm disappointed. But still it's not a bad book and it's not a great book. It's definitely not as advertised!
If you're ready to follow Jay then you can buy this book and do whatever he suggests in the book.
Closing thoughts...
Once you start reading this book you'll get a feel like maybe you're eating up huge variety of foods & you couldn't identify what you are tasting!
Reading this book is like getting a taste of all the Indian food + Chinese food + Western food + some food from sky!
Finally...
While reading this book be ready to get interrupted by Jay himself through some social media!
Still why I bought this book...
1. I'm surrounded by people who can speak almost about anything after watching a movie or a 5 minute video... I'm sure they gonna quote from this book!
2. I like how Jay sold so much copies of this book! Most likely he has planned everything ahead while releasing his first video!
Finally reason for my fictional name...
1. I just don't want people to get caught up in something popular & lose interest in their pursuit of becoming more mindful, positive, financially well, etc!
2. Actual reason for this name...
Just search in your favourite search engine, "what was the first program written in C by it's founders?"
3. Yup, I like programming that's why I have created this fictional name.
4. Guys if you're really fed up with life, don't give up. Start learning a programming language. Just print hello world...
Why everyone should print hello world...
1. Hello world is a way of checking if the IDE or code editor is installed correctly in the computer.
2. As you make more hello world programs, you'll either stick with 1 programming language or you'll develop interest to learn more programming languages
3. You'll start to understand how computer behaves and understands everything as 0s and 1s...
Finally...
1. Is this really a book review?
2. Don't you feel sleepy or annoying?
3. This' how you might feel like while reading this book.
4. If you're an avid reader and want to read something that will have an lasting impact on your life, please don't start with this book!
5. Then what to buy since you've some amount of money to buy a book: Maybe you could buy a book written by a real monk!
6. Either agree or disagree: Basic always remains the same. You might see changes in the format or in the way of presentation.
7. If you've read the previous statement and agreed you will not invest so much on self help books. You might prefer audio books or ebooks as they're relatively cheap & don't take up space in your bookshelf!

I don't know how to say You Thanks,😍😍😍
I am so grateful to God for sending you in my life. This world really needs people like you who didn't keep the real wisdom with themselves but shared with this world instead to make this world a better place. I am happy to meet a monk😄😂😋. I really want to think like a Monk. I started reading this book. I just can't express gratitude in words.
Don't listen to naysayers whoever wrote negative comments. They can't happy when people are becoming successful by putting efforts to make this world a better place.
If anyone wants to live their true lives and want to connect to their true selves and make a difference in the world. Don't even think. Just buy this book. This is the right time.

Today's I just received this amazing book. I have read my first 19 page's. And I think I am addicted to this. I knew it that I will learn the best lessons of my life from my firstbook ever. Because I already have learned the best lesson of my life from Jay Sir. Two years ago I watched one of the most popular video first time of jay sir, that teach me "Everyone have a different clock just wait for your time." By this simple line I learn lots of thing my passion, purpose and the most important is patience. And I hope that I will learn more by this book. Thank so much for writing this book to all of us and teaching us best lessons of our life.

At first I will say that yaa I have read alot of books and still I am continuing but I had a wish that came to my mind after reading alchemist , that we do know how to realize our dreams and what path we should choose but in today's world when life is full of problems and toxicity we need to motivate ourselves for not giving up on anything which will make us feel alive. So think like a monk is that kind of book which will always help us and make us remember our self worth and how to tackle each situation and how to follow our dreams without any hesitation and how to be successful and happy. We all know about jay shetty and his videos podcast but this book will also make us remember everyday how to live a life with our own purpose and what is the real meaning of true happiness. I hope after reading this book we all will repeat it again and again so that we never forget what we learnt from this book. This book is much needed in this society and for the coming years too...read it slowly and patiently then it will be effective. Give it a shot!

I followed Jay Shetty on Facebook for months, let’s face it, he’s not only super hot but I love the wise words of wisdom on relationships and life he comes out with. I never normally read books, I’m a busy working single mum of four. Probably not the most educated either, but I thought I’d give it and shot anway and I told myself I will just do one page a day. I’m absolutely loving reading this book. It’s very in-depth, easy to understand and Nice to read so far. It feels wonderful to take a short moment out of my busy life to spend it on reading on how to be a better version of me, and hopefully by this, create a better life for myself. Also, working on ‘’me’ gets my attention off my slightly disastrous relationships status. “They say” you have to find happiness in yourself first and then things will fall into place naturally so hopefully this is the beginning of my journey. I’m only 10 pages in but definitely loving it so far.
Also the book is big and is excellent quality!! What a bargain. Thank you Jay for your wise words of wisdom. Wish me luck ! 🍀 Eva

A great enabler to help build a mindset and thinking for conscious, purposeful living
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 September 2020Verified Purchase
2020 has been a tough year for most people. There has been lots of chaos and challenges which have made having calm, balance and peace quite difficult. In many cases, this has been particularly difficult because of our ways of thinking. There has been lots of fear and negativity and there have been opportunities for us to better connect with our intention and purpose and find greater meaning in life.
Jay provides great frameworks which combine ancient wisdom with the practicalities of living in the modern world. Jay was a Monk for 3 years and he is able to bring to life stories which show how he developed his thinking and how you don't have to be a monk to think like a monk.
Jay has had phenomenal success and it is clear that his way of thinking, daily routines, practices and habits have helped shape this success. He uses lots of anecdotes of his journey and then combines this with references to ancient texts to highlight concepts and practices.
What I love is how humble Jay in his writing, he applies thinking like a Monk through his writing. The book does not preach, it just lays out several different concepts and puts a "Try this" frame around it. The combination of anecdotes, ancient text references, exercises and diagrams really help to bring out the concepts but most importantly provide a practical framework to use.
Jay is a powerful storyteller and he uses the power of story nicely in the book. Just like any other self-development book, it does have concepts that you would have seen in other books. However, lots of people read lots of self-development books and know these concepts at an intellectual level but don't necessarily do anything with this. Lots of people know about Morning Rituals and Gratitude but they still find it difficult to apply these on a daily basis.
This book provides some simple but really powerful ways to change your thinking which will help you train your mind for peace and purpose every day. I liked the meditation examples and also the Vedic Personality Test in the Appendix. Again this is provided with a frame to explore and try it out as opposed to being the exact thing you need to do and use.
If you want to have more conscious, purposeful living then I highly recommend this book. Remember though, reading the book itself will not change your thinking, it will be practical aspects of reflecting and trying out the various concepts within which will support you with your personal growth.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 September 2020Verified Purchase
I've been following Jay Shetty and his wonderful way of making ancient wisdom topics relevant to today's world for a while now.
If you are looking for a memoir or autobiography - this is not it.
If you are looking for more purpose, joy and gratitude in you life then start reading now!
In Think Like a Monk, Jay touches on his living as a monk and weaves his interactions with his fellow monks and the lessons he has learned throughout the pages and educates the reader as to how these teachings can be incorporated into your daily life.
As is his usual way - he breaks down topics into small chunks and takes the reader on a journey of self-exploration to find more meaning, purpose and joy in their daily life.
If you have read or watched a lot of self-development information - then there is probably a lot in this book that you already know - however, the writing style is very much Jay, and he puts his own spin of teaching and explaining the topics within so they still feel fresh.
If you are new to Jay and/or self exploration - then I highly recommend you give this book a go. It's thought provoking, and the information is easy to digest and implement into your life immediately.
Topics covered:
Part One - Let Go
1. Identity
2. Negativity
3. Fear
4. Intention
Part Two- Grow
5. Purpose
6. Routine
7. The Mind
8. Ego
Part Three - Give
9. Gratitude
10. Relationships
11. Service

I Pre ordered this book as I follow jay shetty on social media & his videos are so inspiring. I don’t often read, but this was a must! & wow it did not disappoint. Although I am only on the 3rd chapter in the book, already it has changed my mindset.
I live a busy lifestyle being a single mum with 2 children but sitting down to read this book in the evenings is truly satisfying. When reading jays words i feel like I’m not alone anymore & that not knowing what path you are on is ok, that gives you time to work & better yourself. Thank you so much jay! I highly recommend this book to anyone who ever has self-doubt & feels lost. I can’t wait to read deeper into the book & implement the things I have learnt into my life
