About this listen

2021 Audiobook of the Year – The British Book Awards

The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller

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

Over recent years, Jay Shetty has become a favourite in the hearts and minds of millions of people worldwide. His social media following totals over 32 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos, which have amassed more than 5 billion views, and his podcast, ‘On Purpose’, is consistently ranked the world’s #1 health-related podcast.

In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk in the Vedic tradition to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Drawing on 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.

The lessons monks learn are profound but often abstract. Shetty transforms them into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, boost focus, improve relationships, identify our hidden abilities, increase self-discipline and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can – and should – think like a monk.

Really enjoyed this book. I'd not heard of Jay before listening to this and I was a little worried it might be too light in useful content, but I found Jay to be extremely likeable and full of practical methods to better understand ourselves and establish habits which will improve our lives. The book did tail off towards the end, and I found myself slightly impatient, but this is equally likely to be about my level of interest in the topics as the quality of the content and performance in the last couple of hours. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Excellent overview covering a lot of topics
