THINK LIKE A MONK

Περιγραφή

THINK LIKE A MONK and you will understand:
Because negativity is contagious.
How to stop over-analyzing.
Because comparison kills love.
How to use your fear.
Because you can not find happiness by looking for it.
How to learn from anyone you meet.
Because you are not your thoughts.
How to find your purpose.
Because goodness is crucial to success.
And many more…
Jay Shetty, social media superstar and creator of the No. 1 podcast On Purpose, crystallizes the timeless wisdom taught as a Hindu monk in practical steps that everyone can follow to live a life with less stress and more meaning.
Shetty grew up in a family where you could be three things – a doctor, a lawyer or a failure. His family was convinced that he had chosen the third: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he went to India to become a monk, meditate four to eight hours a day, and dedicate himself to helping others.
Three years later, one of his teachers told him that he would help people more if he left monasticism to share his experience and wisdom with others. Charged and without any specialization in his CV, Shetty returned to his paternal home in north London. From his old friends, many worked in some of the largest companies in the world.
Some experienced incredible stress, pressure and misery. And they asked Shetty to guide them to live better, gain purpose and empathy. From then until today, Shetty has become one of the most popular thinkers in the world. In this book, based on what he experienced as a monk, he shows us how we can overcome the obstacles that stand in our way to power and to what we can really become. Combining ancient wisdom with his own rich experiences in the ashram, he reveals how we can overcome negative thoughts and habits to find the peace and meaning we all have within us.
Shetty transforms abstract lessons into tips and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, gain more concentration, improve our relationships, and pass on the gifts that are within us in the world. Shetty proves that everyone can – and should – think like a monk.
