Jay Shetty spent three years living as a monk in an ashram before returning to the modern world, where he became host of the chart-topping podcast 'On Purpose' and one of the most-watched social media creators globally. In Think Like a Monk, he draws directly on those monastic teachings, translating abstract spiritual lessons into clear, actionable exercises anyone can use. The book is structured around three sections, Let Go, Grow and Give, guiding readers through releasing negative influences, developing purpose and mindfulness, and ultimately channelling their gifts outward to benefit others. Shetty tackles overthinking, comparison, fear, ego and the roots of anxiety, replacing them with calm, discipline and clarity drawn from monastic routine. Rather than presenting monk life as an unreachable ideal, he reframes it as a toolkit: breathing practices, visualisation, detachment exercises and daily rituals that fit into a busy modern schedule. The result is a bestselling blend of memoir, philosophy and self-improvement guide that has resonated with millions of readers seeking a more intentional, less anxious way of living. It is widely regarded as an accessible entry point into mindfulness and wellbeing literature, free of jargon and grounded in real lived experience rather than abstract theory.. Written by a former monk with genuine lived experience, not just theory. Practical exercises for reducing stress, overthinking and anxiety.
