Get the Summary of Jay Shetty's Think Like A Monk in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. 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.
