Gaur Gopal Das is someone we all recognize as an Indian monk and a motivational speaker, and I follow him on social media for his practical advice and simple life lessons. I was really excited to find out that he’s also an accomplished author. While I was soaking up the sun in beautiful Ladakh and chatting with a fellow traveler about life’s ups and downs, I happened to scroll through Instagram and saw one of Gaur Gopal Das’s insightful posts.
Later that evening, as we explored the Leh market, I stumbled upon a book by him at a bookstore. I was going through a bit of a tough time, and after reading the preface, I decided to buy it. The book is called “Energize Your Mind: Learn the Art of Mastering Your Thoughts, Feelings, and Emotions.” This week, during our book review, I, Yogita, as part of unstumbled, am excited to share my honest thoughts on it. So, stick around and read on!
Energize Your Mind: A Book That Helps You Navigate Life And Its Intricacies
In this book, Gaur Gopal Das unravels the workings of the mind. He blends his engaging storytelling with analytical insights to guide us on how to train our minds for improved well-being. Throughout the book, he offers interactive exercises, meditation methods, and practical worksheets to empower us in mastering our thoughts. The best part? No chapter feels preachy.
Although it belongs to the self-help genre, the book reads easily. Gaur Gopal Das, who has spent over two decades traveling and has even spoken at the United Nations, shares his personal stories of loss, pain, and emotions while teaching us how to connect with and manage our feelings. Each chapter provides a slice of life through various anecdotes.
