We at Penguin Random House Australia acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians and the first storytellers of the lands on which we live and work. This book is actually an enlightening treat to those who are looking for positivity and mindfulness. One of the section that really impressed me is where he explains how monk life takes them away from understanding the problems common people have.Gaur Gopal Das (IAST: Gaura-Gopāla dāsa) is an Indian lifestyle coach, motivational speaker and former HP engineer. In his anecdotal style, he explains how to understand and then discipline our mind in such a way that it works for us and contributes to our well-being. This integration of scientific knowledge lends credibility to the book's approach, assuring readers that the methods they're learning are grounded in evidence-based principles. This grossly oversimplified understanding has created many complexities in our lives and taken away from us the very fundamentals of the joy of living. Das argues that emotions are not something to be suppressed, but rather something to be understood and embraced.

The book addresses various aspects of life, including career, relationships, and personal well-being, and encourages readers to align their actions with their values, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven existence.

Life lessons on mindfulness and wellbeing from international bestselling modern monk, Gaur Gopal Das. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to improve their mental health and achieve their goals. Bringing their own unique and counter-balanced personalities to proceedings they ask questions such as: what is happiness?
