Book: The Way of the Monk

Anju Sharma - The Way of the Monk

For the past few months, I have been watching the popular videos of Gaur Gopal Das. Each video has been crafted with humor, storytelling and wisdom. For me, when these components are intertwined together, then I learn the most from them. Therefore, when I heard that Gaur was releasing a book called "The Way of the Monk" in North America, I rushed out to the local Chapters bookstore and bought the last copy there!

The story begins with Gaur's conversation with his friend while being in the ruthless Mumbai traffic for multiple hours. Together, they both discuss and explore the great yet common frustrations of humanity.

Gaur unravels impactful insights related to 4 main areas of our lives: personal life, relationships, work life, and social contribution. Gaur has shared timeless wisdom in such a simple manner that is easy to understand yet very effective. He includes various narratives from all walks in life and perfect humour to reinforce these insights.

As I was reading this book, I couldn't stop highlighting all the wisdom I gained from this book. It has reminded me to press pause when needed, have a virtuous vision, always being joyous during service, and more. This book definitely worthwhile to read for everyone!
