Think Like A Monk

Won’t it be good to get an opportunity to be at peace with ourselves? We are so absorbed in our daily ruckus that we forget to take care of ourselves, and when inquired, we bluntly reply that we don’t have time, but remarkably, we have time to watch Netflix. It isn’t the comfort zone but sheer laziness or blatant ignorance. 

I have been reading nonfiction for a long time. I enjoyed reading Many Lives Many Masters a while back, and now this was a fascinating read. This book assists you to inculcate the thought process of a monk. There have been many experiments regarding what distinguishes a monk from a layperson, and this book emphasizes those differences. The author discusses his journey as a monk and offers a deep insight into their way of living. He also discusses his confusion after he left the ashram. He discusses the transformation with proper analysis to assist you in inculcating that mindset in your routine life, thus, justifying the title: Think Like A Monk.

The book is classified into three parts that are composed of various chapters. This book is a work of extreme research. People find reading a self-help book as a boring task, but this book follows a step by step approach, i.e., you will be able to digest that knowledge. The writing style is lucid and informal. Informal style is one of the ways to connect with the readers. If anyone has to verify the information sources, the references have been shared in the end.

By the way, when you read many self-help books, you shall observe that they offer similar content, but the way of expressing that knowledge is different. You can give this one a try, too. And if you want to read self-help for the first time, buy this. To have a smooth experience, you may prefer reading a chapter a day.
