ABOUT THE EVENT
The book for the month of May is Think Like a Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Every Day by Jay Shetty. The author is said to distill "the timeless wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life." Sounds very interesting and promising. Shall we discuss it?
Hopefully, we all can pick up and start applying advice and exercises from the book "to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world."
See you on 19 May, Sunday, 7:30 am PDT / 10:30 am EDT / 4:30 pm CEDT. We're looking forward to connecting with you and exchanging our opinions, insights, experience with and knowledge on the subject of the book and everything related. Join the discussion!
