Meet Sankalpita, the bookworm extraordinaire! 📚 With an insatiable appetite for reading (over 100 books annually!), she embarked on her book blogging journey in 2013 to share her boundless love for books.

Then all parts are divided into further subchapters. Talking about fear, pain, ego, purpose, etc. all those emotional words you can say.

Growth – to “reshape your life so that you can make decisions with intention, purpose, and confidence.” Cenšamies atstāt vietu tīrāku, nekā tā bija ierodoties, cilvēkus laimīgākus, nekā pirms mēs viņus satikām, un pasauli labāku, nekā to atklājām. [..] The author mentions four types of trust to understand why we are attracted to a person. We can determine whether they are compatible with us by finding out whether their values and trust correspond with us. Remember, saying whatever we want, whenever we want, however we want, is not freedom. Real freedom is not feeling the need to say these things.”

The Vedic Personality included at the end of the book is an unexpected bonus. Further, most of the topics are very relevant to a modern individual. Bestselling Books Week Ended September 19".

Think Like a Monk” is a book that helps us live a more peaceful and purposeful life; one that is full of gratitude and brimming with positivity. No, the book doesn’t promise us overnight miracles, but what it does promise is a sense of calmness, a change of attitude, more love, more positivity, and better clarity of who we are. Shetty does lay out the case how our life’s meaning is best served by pursuing the Good. I will say one should not stumble over that word Good. Everyone has a general idea in what it means. Thomas Aquinas will lay it out in his Summa Theologia (old book alert) and he makes our highest meaning the contemplation of the Good. That is discovering what is true, what is ethical, and what is beautiful.E drept că sunt ele multe, cum e drept și că sunt de acord cu majoritatea, dacă stau să mă gândesc mai bine, dar lucrul care îi iese cel mai bine lui Jay Shetty, fost londonez cu o potențială lume la picioare plecat să facă foamea și să îndure frigul și lipsurile într-un ashram aflat la dracu-n praznic în India, fost călugăr, și actual influencer cu milioane de adepți care se simt fericiți dacă-i urmează cu sfințenie sfaturile (cu condiția să le și respecte pe termen lung) este o sistematizare a aproape tuturor lucrurilor care ne fac grea viața de zi cu zi, pe care, dacă le-am evita, iar Shetty ne oferă câteva alternative interesante, poate că n-am mai fi atât de stresați, de încruntați, de obosiți și de sictiriți de viața asta petrecută mereu pe fugă.

And every now and then, she indulges her creative spirit through painting and nurturing her garden. 🌻🎨 What did I like? I’m familiar with Jay because of his podcasts and Facebook messages that always felt uplifting and positive. Most of us can see that Jay’s calling was not that of a monk but as a speaker and spiritual leader. His stories on Facebook always stirred something in me and this book was no different. From breathing and meditation to finding a purpose and acts of service leading us into the lives of how to think like a monk. I felt the message in the book was quite clear, and enlightening. As always with these books one read is not enough, repetition until we understand and can give as we receive. Studies have found that only 2 percent of us can multitask effectively; most of us are terrible at it, especially when one of those tasks requires a lot of focus. When we think we’re multitasking, what’s usually happening is that we’re shifting rapidly among several different things, or “serial tasking.” (c)
