Think Like A Monk By Jay Shetty

Description

What if the calm, focused mindset of a monk could be applied to your everyday life?

In Think Like a Monk, author, podcast host, and former Vedic monk Jay Shetty reveals how anyone can access the peace and clarity that monks cultivate—without leaving their home, career, or responsibilities behind.
