Not original work, but more of curation of others work.
13 September 2020 -
Published on Amazon.com
I thought one of his quotes sounded familiar so I Googled it. Wasn't his.
So I tried another, and another, and another. Apparently, this guy is just regurgitating a lot of other peoples works and - not attributing them to their original owners. In fact, he was putting his own name to them - something that I was very surprised at. I mean it's fine to bring the quotes and tools of thought to mind, but site your sources - don't claim them for your own. Some examples:
"A relationship without trust is a like a car without gas...you can stay in it all you want but it won't go anywhere." - this was by Michael J Herbert.
“Be kinder to yourself. And then let your kindness flood the world.” - taken from Pema Chodron
"Detachment is not that you own nothing, but that nothing should own you.” - from the Bhagvad Gita
“If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.” - from the Dalai Lama

Jay has built his platform on the thoughts and quotes of others, not a single idea is his own and there is no proof he was ever a monk... just sayin

Deliciously Thought Provoking
8 September 2020 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
Think Like a Monk is deliciously thought provoking. Each chapter took me to a place deep inside my heart, my head and my soul. Throughout the many chapters I had to stop and truly reflect on my life; becoming aware of the many places where true change would allow me to become a deeper loving, and more compassionate person.
The raw openness from this author, Jay Shetty, as he shared his journey of discovery through his pain, his joys, his vulnerabilities and his love is so touching.
A few inspirational ideas that resonated with me are:
“If we try to be problem-solvers, then we become frustrated when people don’t take our brilliant advice. The desire to save others is ego-driven.”
“If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.”
“Detachment is not that you own nothing, but that nothing should own you.”
“Be kinder to yourself. And then let your kindness flood the world.”
With this last idea, I am strongly recommending this book for everyone to read so that we can all let our collective kindnesses flood the world.
