THINK LIKE A MONK- BOOK REVIEW

 

"Because the only thing that stays with you from the moment you've born until the moment you die is your breath. All your friends, your family, the country you live in, all that can change. The one thing that stays with you is your breath."

I pick up these dazzling lines from the marvelous book 'Think like a Monk' by Jay Shetty. He has nicely crafted the mindset of a monk. Also, he tried to draw a contrast between the monk mindset and the monkey mindset. How we all are struggling with overthinking, procrastination, and anxiety as a result of indulging the monkey mind. And how monk mindset lifts us from confusion and distraction and guides us to find clarity, meaning, and direction.

As we move further he has split the contents into three stages of adopting the monk mindset. These stages are shortly known as 3G(GO, GROWTH, AND GIVE). First, we'll let go, second, we'll grow, and finally, we'll give. He also draws our attention to different types of meditations and he recommends including them in our practice such as breathwork, visualization, and sound with their benefits too. 

This book is stunning, definitely will change your way of thinking if you dare. If you want to think like a monk and are devoted to reading such kind of context then go for it.
