In 2020, Jay authored his first book, Think Like A Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Everyday. The book debuted at #1 on the The New York Times and The Sunday Times best-seller lists, and was named “Unputdownable” by Amazon, where it held the #1 spot worldwide.

In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk in the Vedic tradition to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Drawing on ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us. The lessons monks learn are profound but often abstract. Shetty transforms them into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve focus, improve relationships, identify our hidden abilities, increase self-discipline and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can and should think like a monk.
