Work
Thich Nhat Hanh presents Buddhist teachings for daily life—revealing how we can apply meditation and mindfulness to business, leadership, and livelihood. We all need to “Chop Wood and Carry Water”. Most of us experience work, hardship, traffic jams, and everything modern urban life offers. But by carefully examining our everyday choices, we can move in the direction of right livelihood. We can be a lotus in a muddy world by building mindful communities, learning about compassionate living, or by coming to understand the concept of “Buddha nature.” In Thich Nhat Hanh’s latest teachings on applied Buddhism for both the workplace and daily life, he offers guidance on how to: • Start your day, with advice on how to set intentions • Practice mindful breathing, walking, and even meditation at work • Deal with tense daily scenarios, with 30 ways to reduce workplace stress • Be present and relaxed at home and with family • Create a new way of working that is built on peace, compassion, and co-responsiblity • And much more! Work also discusses mindful consumption, or the mindful use of limited resources. Instead of “Living Large in Lean Times” or “Ramen to Riches,” we can learn to appreciate living less large and think about what kind of riches we want for ourselves and others. Designed for beginner and experienced meditation practitioners, Work shows us how we can apply Buddhism to everyday life—including how we lead and do business.
Think Like a Monk
Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast On Purpose, distills the timeless wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life. 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. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others. Heavily in debt, and with no recognizable skills on his résumé, he moved back home in north London with his parents. Shetty reconnected with old school friends—many working for some of the world’s largest corporations—who were experiencing tremendous stress, pressure, and unhappiness, and they invited Shetty to coach them on well-being, purpose, and mindfulness. Since then, Shetty has become one of the world’s most popular influencers. 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 #1 video on Facebook with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 38 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos which have amassed more than 8 billion views, and his podcast, On Purpose, is consistently ranked the world’s #1 Health and Wellness podcast. In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Combining 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. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can—and should—think like a monk.
