Why people recommend it

Think Like A Monk by Jay Shetty adapts ancient wisdom from the author's time as a monk into practical steps for daily mindfulness, overcoming negative thinking, and finding purpose. The book was featured prominently on On Purpose with Jay Shetty. The author discussed the inspiration behind the title, clarifying that it was meant to teach readers how to adopt monk-like thinking patterns rather than live precisely as monks do, and connected the content to his personal experiences and subsequent writing projects about love. Guests such as Jelly Roll shared how reading the book during a low period in his life provided significant personal impact, which left Shetty humbled. Additionally, Radhi Devlukia mentioned on the show that she had nearly finished reading the book and praised its quality, while Shetty also reflected on the book during discussions about handling public criticism and evolving past a single identity.
