Bhagavad Gita💬 Mentioned
…referencing sacred text studied during monastic training

on On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Bhagavad Gita👍 Recommends
…discussing how to pursue authentic desires rather than inherited expectations
“The Bhagavad Gita has a line that hit me like a truck when I first read it. It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection. That's not a motivational quote. That's a warning.”
on On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Bhagavad Gita👍 Recommends
…applying ancient spiritual wisdom to detach from outcomes and focus on effort
“Book number nine is the Bhagavad Gita. Here's the lesson. You have the right to the work, but never to the fruit of the work. And this single idea makes every other book on this list make sense. I told you at the beginning to stay for this one. It's a conversation between a warrior named Arjun and his charity a Krishna who also happens to be God. Arjun is standing on a battlefield about to enter a war and he's paralyzed. Not by fear, but by overthinking.”

Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art👍 Recommends
…understanding nasal breathing's impact on nervous system, cognition, and emotional state
“Book number 10 is Breath by James Nestor. Here's the lesson. The most powerful tool you have for changing your mental state is not in your mind. It's the thing you've been doing wrong 40,000 times a day. I'm ending with this book because after nine books about the mind, how it thinks, how it decides, how it deceives, how it suffers, this book lands you back in the body and that's exactly where you need to end up. James Nestor is a journalist who spent years investigating something so basic, so overlooked, so absurdly fundamental that the fact we ignore it should embarrass us. Breathing.”

And he talks in this book about how when soldiers were out at war, a lot of them wanted to believe they'd be back by Christmas.”
on On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Culture Code👍 Recommends

Eight Rules of Love💬 Mentioned
…discussing conflict styles and fight languages in relationships
“And she'd be thinking the same thing. So she'd say, how can you have a conversation when you haven't digested it? How can you fix it when you haven't had time to reflect? I care more because I'm actually thinking about it. I'm actually processing it. I'm actually working through it. It's amazing how you can both be saying the same thing but reflecting it in different ways. That's when I discovered, and I wrote about this in my book, Eight Rules of Love, the fight languages. Venting, hiding, and exploding are the three fight languages.”

Exponential Organizations👍 Recommends
…discussing the concept of massive transformational purpose and how to build organizations
“I read a book before I started creating content by Salim Ismail. The book's called Exponential Organizations, published by the Singularity University years ago, a really old book.

And I feel this book is almost like your reintroduction to the world.”
on On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Finding Your Element👍 Recommends
…understanding purpose as intersection of aptitude and passion, not singular calling
“Book number two is Finding Your Element by Ken Robinson. Here's the lesson. You were not designed for one purpose.

Ken Robinson's work helped me realize very early in my life why that search feels so impossible.”
on On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Flow👍 Recommends
…discovering happiness through deep absorption and matching skill level to challenge
“Book number six is called Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Here's the lesson. Happiness is not a destination or an emotion. It's a state of absorption that you can engineer. This is the book that solved the happiness question for me. Not by answering it, by making me realize I'd been asking the wrong question entirely. Most people spend their twenties chasing happiness as if it were a place they could arrive at.”

on On Purpose with Jay Shetty
How to Decide: Why We Judge Decisions the Wrong Way👍 Recommends
…examining how people wrongly judge decision quality by outcomes rather than process
“The first book on my list is How to Decide by Annie Duke. Here's the lesson. You are confusing the quality of your decisions with the quality of your outcomes. And it's destroying your judgment. This is the book I wish I'd read before I made every major decision in my 20s. Not because it tells you what to decide.

The Organized Mind👍 Recommends
…learning how mental clutter and decision-making consume limited neural resources
“Book number three is The Organized Mind by Daniel Levitin. Here's the lesson. Your brain was never designed to hold the life you're asking it to hold.

on On Purpose with Jay Shetty
The Organized Mind👍 Recommends
…discussing how removing decision fatigue improves focus and attention
“I remember reading about it in a book by Daniel Levitin called The Organized Mind. And he talked about this idea of how when Warren Buffett is deciding where to invest, he takes milk and cookies, rents an apartment in New York City, and lives in that apartment for five days.
