Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things&mdas h\;a doctor\, a lawyer\, or a failure. His family was convinced he had cho sen option three: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony\, h e headed to India to become a monk\, to meditate every day for four to eig ht 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. Heav ily in debt\, and with no recognizable skills on his reÌsumeÌ\, he m oved back home in north London with his parents.
\nShetty reconnecte d with old school friends&mdash\;many working for some of the world's larg est corporations&mdash\;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 worl d's most popular influencers. In 2017\, he was named in the \;Forbes&n bsp\;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 podcas t\, \;On Purpose\, is consistently ranked the world's #1 Health and We llness podcast.
\nIn this inspiring\, empowering book\, Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our p otential and power. Combining ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram\, \;Think Like a Monk \;reveals how to overcome nega tive thoughts and habits\, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we ca n all apply to reduce stress\, improve relationships\, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can&mdash\; and should&mdash\;think like a monk.
