Think Like a Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Every Day by Jay ShettyMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Hooter: Imbibing learnings from the monk way of life and implementing them into our regular lives.
Jay Shetty is a social media influencer in the modern sense and tries to share all his learnings into a book. I picked up his audio book on a friend's recommendation - again narrated by the author himself after having spent 3 years as a monk in an ashram and figuring how he could practice those learnings in the real material world.
Like all self help books ever written, most of it is common sense or at least traditional Indian common sense since a lot of it culturally resonates like meditation, breathing techniques and philosophies like seva etc. But it never hurts to get those concepts reiterated through various books to help you focus. This is that refresher course you can read up on as it reiterates the goals you need to set for yourself in life and the discipline you need to imbibe to get the most of life.
His story of finding his meaning in life after having a conventionally successful career makes for decent reading but couldn't really connect with it all. I'd say if you needed a refresher on mindfulness, being grateful and some common anecdotes on the same in one place, you could get through this book.
