Original book introduction: Think like a Monk by Jay Shetty is for you, the busy people, who want to keep the accelerated rhythm of your lives as it is, but at the same time, want to add to it calmness, serenity, focus, creativity, efficiency, productivity, happiness, and fulfillment.

This modern life is like a treadmill. There is always a rush, always an agitation, always searching for something to make you feel happier. You are in a constant race to achieve, thinking that this is how you will feel happy and fulfilled. But you're wrong. Your achievements and relationships would be greater if you were present in what they do, not if you were doing more and grabbing more.

You are overthinking, overreacting, overanalyzing, overstressing, and overdoing every little thing. Everything seems too much to manage, to cope with, and you struggle to find peace, to become centered, to be yourself.

Quotes

  • roshniemushas quoted3 years ago
    When you’re in a situation where you feel like you’re losing control of yourself, you can use your mind to step back and see the situation from an outside perspective.
  • roshniemushas quoted3 years ago
    Most of the time your brain is not reacting to events in the world, it’s predicting and constantly guessing what’s going to happen next based on what you’ve experienced in the past.
  • roshniemushas quoted3 years ago
    Monks clear away distractions. They look at the external forces that shape us and distract us from our values and reflect on whether they’re in line with who they want to be and how they want to live.
