Description

Since making his first online appearance on the Huffington Post in 2016, Jay Shetty has become one of the most popular personalities on social media. One of his clips was the most watched video on Facebook last year, amassing over 360 million views. His followings on Twitter and Instagram rival or surpass those of Tim Ferriss, Tony Robbins, and Brene Brown, and his new podcast, On Purpose, debuted at #5 on Apple's charts in March. His book, Think Like a Monk, details the infectious wisdom that has made him such a star, sharing the lessons he learned during his years as a practicing monk in Mumbai, India. He followed the Vedic tradition, the source of Hindu and Buddhist teachings, and he translates those profound but sometimes abstract principles into accessible, empowering advice and exercises we can all readily apply to lower anxiety, defuse anger, strengthen relationships, identify our hidden abilities, increase self-discipline, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty's message is essentially selfless, but it is so effective in practical terms that Google has hired him to teach his principles to all the MBA's it hires. Shetty proves there - and in this book - that everyone can and should think like a monk.
