About the Author
Author Jay Shetty aims to elevate us from the negativity, anxiety, and hopelessness of today’s world in his book THINK LIKE A MONK: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Every Day, to be published by Simon and Schuster on April 14. Drawing on both Jay’s experience as a monk in a Hindu ashram and his post-monk life as an influential thinker and spiritual guide, Think Like a Monk distills monk wisdom into practical, everyday steps anyone can take to live a less anxious, more meaningful life. How can we transform our experience of life today? Jay says, “When I trained as a monk, I found that monks are able to remain centered and calm amid all the chaos that life throws at us. Monks are the absolute experts in mastering their minds. I wrote THINK LIKE A MONK in order to help everyone access the same mindset, the same thinking patterns, the same processes that help monks find peace, balance, and purpose.” Like his monk teachers, Jay draws from the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred Indian text based on the Upanishads, writings from around 800-400 BCE. In a world where people are constantly looking for answers, Jay believes the wisdom for how to find peace and purpose has been here all along.
