When you think like a monk, you’ll understand:  How to overcome negativity How to stop overthinking  Why comparison kills love  How to use your fear  Why you can’t find happiness by looking for it  How to learn from everyone you meet  Why you are not your thoughts  How to find your purpose  Why kindness is crucial to success  And much more Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things - a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure.

In 2017, he was named in the Forbes magazine 30-under-30 for being a game-changer in the world of media. In 2018, he had the number one video on Facebook with more than 360 million views. His social media following totals more than 38 million, he has produced more than 400 viral videos that have amassed more than eight billion views, and his podcast, On Purpose , is consistently ranked the world’s numbe
