Personal Growth & LeadershipPsychology & Mind

Former monk Jay Shetty's translation of three years of ashram training into a Western self-help framework organized around letting go, growing, and giving.

Core ideas
  • Identify and audit the "monkey mind" patterns — fear, envy, ego — by tracing back to the values they protect; values clarification is the prerequisite to behavior change.
  • The dharma framework: align your work with your passions, expertise, and what the world needs.
  • Service and gratitude as practice, not sentiment — small repeated acts rewire the orientation toward others.
