The Way of the Monk: How to Find Purpose, Balance, and Lasting Happiness

Really good read ! Definitely recommend if you’re just starting out on your spiritual journey.

I am going to Reread this book in a yearLove the storyMuch to absorb!!Making a poster of monkisms!!!

Written to give you a life's lesson through the story of another's life journey. Lots to contemplate and reflect on.

I really enjoyed the structure of the book, the way is was written kept me coming back for more. A quality read for Buddhist practitioners and non practitioners

Great book, easy reading and deep wisdom for the entire family

The message is sound. It is the writing that hurt's this author's ability to communicate. I could only read two or three pages at a time before I needed to put it down. I did finish the book. Also, the ending came up short, as if there must have been a better way to end this book.

Overall, it was a good book. seemed to end a bit abruptly...easy read

Exact same content as kindle edition of Life’s Amazing secret! Something is wrong. Now I the hardcover book of this title and the kindle edition of the other book. And it’s exactly same chapters and content. How is it possible?

Nothing is about to dislike.

The book helps me to be more connected with myself. The stories told are very interesting and a nice way to understand the underlying meaning. We are all on a journey and this book brings you back to the essential lessons to live by.

After 45years of walking a universal path, made up of crazy paving, I have suddenly come to realise that there is a more structured route to life, although, I am still seeking some rational for explaining its meaning and purpose! following some recent trips to Thailand and Myanmar I have taken a healthy interest in Buddhism and Hinduism. It really is a breath of fresh air to have a clear focus in life, and one I can truely give thanks to these faiths for. As a beginner I decide to purchase this book a few months ago, and do not regret it one bit. The book takes you on a days car journey through a traffic jam in Mumbai. The journey is shared by a monk and his close capitalist friend. During the day long car crawling trip across town the Monk takes his friend on an anecdotal spiritual journey, were he explains 4 very simple principles to living a selfless but enriched life.It is very cleverly written, telling the story of this journey, and how the Monk portrays the concept of spirituality to his friend, however, the genius in this writing is how it is clearly aimed at the reader! The Monk takes you, the reader, through a journey of living a more universal path, with lots of suttle anecdotes, twists and turns, sprinkled with the odd touch of humour, and occassional 'oh yes that is true' moment!Great read, great author, great price!

This book is an easy read and a life changer. It gives a new perspective to ideas that those who are well invested in their spirituality might be aware of. Adds workable tips for day to day life as well. I have not yet finished the book but I had to put it down to write this review.

This book is exactly same as the book Life's amazing secrets by gaur gopal das itself, word to word. I purchased that book for only Rs 235 and loved the book, so thought to buy the new book of this author and gain more perspective, but I found out that this book which costs 1400/- is exactly the same as the book which was published earlier for 235/- with a different cover page and title, but the contents are the same.Waste of 1400/-.
