Publisher's Summary

Can two simple sentences really change your life? Can the ability to break free from the overwhelming flood of our daily lives be found in humble teachings dating back thousands of years?

In “The Monk Who Changed Me”, author Sheldon Yates reveals the truth behind his life-changing encounter with the Dalai Lama that revealed one simple truth of how to live your life free of anxiety, worry, and all the negative emotions and thought patterns that hold us hostage and keep us from realizing true inner peace and happiness.

As a highly successful business professional with more than 30 years of experience working in finance, consulting and upper management, Yates seemed like the American success story from the outside looking in. But all his life, he had been searching for a spirituality that he found elusive, slowly losing control of his own happiness as he got lost in a cycle of measuring his self-worth by the impossible standards of his job, his social circle, and what ‘everyone else’ was doing.

A growing hunger for meaning and direction sent him on a four-day odyssey across the country where he found the spiritual sustenance he’d unknowingly been craving his entire life!

Through personal stories, scientific data, cutting-edge medical research, and simple truths, he unlocks the way for everyone to break out of their cycle of digital addiction, social anxiety, and reliance on outside influences to determine how ‘worthy’ they are of joy and peace. In these chapters, you’ll discover:

  • How to stop your digital addiction and regain control over your attention span.
  • The truth about how stress is a myth, and the power to handle stressors quickly and anxiety free.
  • How to become an actor rather than a reactor as you navigate your life.
  • How to break free of the grip of attachment and free yourself of unwanted pain.

Stop living your life for other people, it’s time to take the wheel and navigate your own journey towards inner peace. If you feel overwhelmed by life from the moment you wake up until you stagger into bed, this is the book for you.
