Think Like a Monk

It's not a genre I read often but mindfulness and meditation was top of my mind last year. I found this book really accessible and relatable. Author shares his experience at an ashram in India where he trained for three years to become a monk which makes the book very engaging.

The book is structured around three pillars - Let Go (identity, negativity, fear, intention), Grow (purpose, routine, the mind, ego), Give (gratitude, relationship, and service) and help in understanding a lot of important questions we face daily - how to overcome negativity, how to stop overthinking, how to use your fear, how to find your purpose, and why kindness is crucial to success?

The description of monkey mind vs monk mind is very insightful on how to frame our thinking to find peace, calm and purpose. I think the book is packed with a lot of wisdom which can help all of us in our spiritual journey towards mindfulness.
