The Monk’s Mindset by Sam Yo

Some books arrive at exactly the right moment. The Monk’s Mindset is one of them.

Written by former Theravada Buddhist monk and globally beloved Peloton instructor Sam Yo, this first-of-its-kind guide blends mindfulness, movement, and motivation into something genuinely fresh. Fans of Jay Shetty and Thich Nhat Hanh will feel right at home in these pages.

Born in London to Thai parents, Sam spent two decades as a leading man in the world of theater before trading the stage lights for the quiet halls of a Thai monastery. What he learned there about simplicity, discipline, and self-discovery now forms the heart of this wise, warm, and surprisingly funny book.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Practical tools for moving with intention and breathing with awareness
• A thoughtful fusion of Eastern philosophy and Western motivation
• Sam’s signature humor, pop culture nods, and hard-won wisdom
• A blueprint for clarity, resilience, and inner strength in an ever-shifting world

It’s a holistic guide to peace, in both body and mind, the kind of read that pairs perfectly with a slow morning, a salty breeze drifting in off the cove, and a second cup of coffee.

Whether you’re navigating a season of change or simply craving a little more stillness in your day, this one belongs on your shelf. Pick it up, linger a while, and let Sam Yo show you what it means to slow down without falling behind.

A brand-new hardcover release we’re so happy to share with our community.
