9:40Now PlayingIn this episode of book club we're looking at the best selling book Think Like A Monk by @Jay Shettywhich looks at how we can learn to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the purpose that lies within us by learning to think more like monks. In the video, we look at the three key areas that Jay identifies as key to this process - Letting Go, Growing and Giving - and why, in our hectic modern world, it is more important than ever to find ways of managing our thoughts to reduce stress, improve focus, and offer our service to the world.
