Shetty highlights that true fulfillment comes from helping others.When you shift your focus from "How can I succeed?" to "How can I serve?", life becomes more meaningful.Serving others connects you to your higher self and provides a sense of purpose that material success cannot.

Finding Purpose Through Service

People often identify themselves based on their job, social status, or relationships, but these are temporary labels.Shetty encourages a deeper understanding of who you are beyond these identities.When you let go of these labels, you open up the possibility for growth and transformation.

Just like your body, the mind needs regular exercise to stay strong.Meditation, mindfulness, and positive affirmations are like workouts for your brain. Shetty emphasizes setting aside time daily to practice stillness, which can help reduce stress and increase clarity.

Train Your Mind Like a Muscle

Your mental diet is just as important as your physical one.Be conscious of the information and media you consume daily.Negative news, gossip, and toxic social media can cloud your thoughts, while uplifting content can help you grow.

You Are What You Consume

Routines shape who we become. Shetty stresses the importance of creating morning and evening routines to center yourself and set the tone for the day.Consistency in small habits builds discipline and gives you a positive mindset.

The Power of Routine

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

What we think, we become.

You become what you think about.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

Gratitude turns what we have into enough.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

You only lose what you cling to.

Practicing gratitude shifts your focus from what's missing in life to appreciating what you already have.Shetty explains that being grateful daily can improve your mood, reduce stress, and enhance your relationships.

Gratitude Transforms Your Life

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine—and shadows will fall behind you.

To find true peace and happiness, you need to detach yourself from the noise around you.Shetty explains that detachment doesn't mean you own nothing; it means that nothing owns you.You should reduce your attachment to material possessions, toxic people, and negative thoughts. This helps you stay calm and focused.

Detachment Is Key

Shetty discusses how living in the present moment can significantly improve your life.Most of our stress and anxiety come from regrets about the past or worries about the future.By practicing mindfulness and focusing on the present, you can cultivate a peaceful and happy mind.

Focus on the Present

Holding on to anger and grudges only weighs you down.Shetty emphasizes that forgiveness is not about excusing the behavior of others; it’s about freeing yourself from the emotional burden.Letting go of resentment allows you to move forward without the baggage.

Forgiveness Sets You Free

Monk Secrets for Unshakable Peace and Happiness.

Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast On Purpose, distills the timeless wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life. When you think like a monk, you’ll understand: -How to overcome negativity -How to stop overthinking -Why comparison kills love -How to use your fear -Why you can’t find happiness by looking for it -How to learn from everyone you meet -Why you are not your thoughts -How to find your purpose -Why kindness is crucial to success -And much more... Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others. Heavily in debt, and with no recognizable skills on his résumé, he moved back home in north London with his parents. Shetty reconnected with old school friends—many working for some of the world’s largest corporations—who were experiencing tremendous stress, pressure, and unhappiness, and they invited Shetty to coach them on well-being, purpose, and mindfulness. Since then, Shetty has become one of the world’s most popular influencers. In 2017, he was named in the Forbes magazine 30-under-30 for being a game-changer in the world of media. In 2018, he had the #1 video on Facebook with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 38 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos which have amassed more than 8 billion views, and his podcast, On Purpose, is consistently ranked the world’s #1 Health and Wellness podcast. In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Combining ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can—and should—think like a monk.
