Twitter summary: Learn why and how to practically think like a monk.
The good: I heard about Shetty early in the pandemic when Jim Kwik was releasing his book, Limitless. I was immediately drawn to his communication style and the way he described concepts simply and practically. He always made me stop and think. I jumped on pre-ordering his book and then, I just didn’t read it. Finally, I decided to listen to the audiobook, which is read by Shetty, and I’m grateful that I did. Each chapter is digestible, full of tips and examples and most importantly, he explains why he is recommending it. Long story, short: (1) have a morning ritual that includes TIME: thankfulness (gratitude), insight, meditation and exercise, and (2) BW present in everything that you do.
The bad: I’ll admit that it was a bit difficult to always be present and to listen and absorb the words — haha, yes I’m aware of the irony — and so, I will definitely read the book to dive deeper. This wasn’t the type of book where I could only listen via audiobook. I need to go back, read, underline, flag pages and apply.
Recommendation: Yes, I enjoyed the audiobook and definitely recommend reading the book to supplement all the valuable lessons.
