When a Business Student Met a Monk
A lecture hall at London's Cass Business School filled with ambitious students expecting another forgettable talk. Then a thirty-something Indian monk walked in-shaved head, simple robes, radiating something rare in that world of ambition: genuine contentment. He'd walked away from India's equivalent of MIT, yet seemed happier than any successful executive these future business leaders had ever met. For eighteen-year-old Jay Shetty, that dissonance sparked a question that would reshape his life: What if we've been chasing the wrong things? Four years later, Shetty traded his designer suits for monk's robes and spent three years in an ashram learning Vedic practices designed not to escape reality but to face it with unprecedented clarity. What he discovered wasn't mystical abstraction but practical neuroscience-monks' brains show gamma wave patterns associated with attention and happiness at levels rarely documented in ordinary people. The difference? Monks cultivate what Shetty calls "monk mind"-thoughtful, intentional, value-driven-while most of us live in "monkey mind," restlessly jumping between worries without resolution. This isn't about renouncing the world. It's about bringing ancient wisdom into modern chaos.
