The Urban Monk: Eastern Wisdom and Modern Hacks to Stop Time and Find Success, Happiness, and Peace by Pedram Shojai

4.0

If you can hack your way through the bullshit, you'll be able to drill down and really get out of your own way. Wow, this guy says "shit" a lot. Sorry, couldn't resist.... If this type of informal language plus all the talk of hacking, etc. doesn't get on your nerves (why do we have to talk about hacking our lives? -- when I think of hacking I think of ax murderers or maybe chopping wood), you'll find a very useful resource for helping you get on track in all areas of your life. I would actually start by reading his "Next Steps" section first because it lays things out very clearly. If you read the whole book in one shot, you might get overwhelmed. You could find other great resources that touch on each of these things in more depth, naturally, such as "The Wahls Protocol," "Get Out of Debt and Prosper," "The Artist's Way," "7-Minute Meditation," etc. but the approach of this book is nice because you can start with the chapter that you feel really describes your difficulty and just work with that as a start.
