The goal of monk thinking is a life free of ego, envy, anxiety, anger and bitterness.

It's a life free of baggage and the way I see it, adopting the monk mindset isn't just possible,

it's necessary in order to find that calm, stoneness and peace we so desperately want for ourselves and in our lives.

Hey everyone, welcome back to on purpose. It is getting so close. I am so excited. If you know, you know what I'm talking about,

if you don't know wherever you've been, you're going to find out in this podcast. So people often ask me how they can cultivate

and show you how your life can change if you learn to think like a monk.

or to leave your jobs and leave your lives.

I want to help you access that stillness, that calm, that clarity from exactly where you are right now.
