A transformative guide to quieting the noise of the world and discovering your true purpose through timeless wisdom and modern mindfulness.
 
In Think Like a Monk, former monk and motivational teacher Jay Shetty draws from his experience in an ashram to help readers apply ancient lessons to modern life. Through practical exercises and profound reflections, Shetty teaches how to train the mind, overcome negativity, and create habits that lead to peace, purpose, and lasting fulfillment.
 
Combining spiritual insight with accessible storytelling, Think Like a Monk offers a blueprint for living with clarity, compassion, and direction. Shetty shares the teachings that helped him transform from a stressed college student to a calm and centered thinker—and how those same tools can guide anyone to greater balance and joy.
 
Organized around three key stages—Let Go, Grow, and Give—the book explores how to release ego, embrace gratitude, and serve others with intention. With real-world applications, meditations, and mindset shifts, Think Like a Monk bridges ancient philosophy and modern personal growth, empowering readers to live meaningfully in a chaotic world.
