I wrote this book for the version of me who was overwhelmed, lost and lacked awareness ā and for anyone who feels the same right now.
Today, I finally get to share it with you. š«
āThe Monkās Mindsetā šļø
Three years of writing and a journal from 22 years ago ā brought this book to life.
The world feels louder, faster, and more uncertain than ever. People are searching for something steady to hold ontoā¦.This book is my offering.
Itās my journey, yes ā but more importantly, the tools and practices I wish I had when life felt overwhelming.
For anyone who wants to feel grounded again in a world that wonāt stop moving.
Right now, self-awareness isnāt a luxury ā itās survival.
If thereās one truth I hope you carry from these pages, itās this:
Awareness is the new superpower. āļø
Iām emotional, excited, and canāt wait for you to read it.
Pre-orders are live ā link in my bio. āš½
Love Sam x

Ever feel like life is getting so loudā¦ youāre scared you might lose yourself in it?
Before I left the monastery, I told my mentor I was worried the outside world would change me.
That the stress, pressure, noise, and expectations would pull me away from the peace I had found.
Years later, I still come back to what he taught me:
Calm isnāt about having an easy life.
Itās about learning how to stay rooted when life gets heavy.
Maybe someone else needs this reminder today.
Save this for the moments you feel overwhelmed.
Share it with someone whoās carrying more than theyāre showing. š¤
@onepeloton instructor @yoiamsamyo revealed his new book āThe Monkās Mindset,ā onstage during the 2026 WWD Beauty CEO Summit in Palm Beach on Tuesday night.

Weāre not lostā¦
weāre just not fully here.
Busy. Distracted. Always onto the next thing.
And slowlyā¦
we stop experiencing our own lives.
Try this today:
Do one thing slowly.
No phone. No rushing.
Just be in it.
Save this for when life feels fullā¦ but not fulfilling.
Share it with someone who needs to slow down.
Comment PRESENT and Iāll send you a simple practice š¤
I thought the hardest part would be changing my life.
Leaving everything behind.
Starting again.
Stepping into the unknown.
But that wasnāt it.
The hardest part was letting go of the version of me I was still holding onto.
Thatās what I learned in my first week as a monk.
Change happens whether weāre ready or not.
Growth is the part we choose.
Save this for the moment you feel yourself holding back.
Or send it to someone whoās standing on the edge of change.
Itās a strange feelingā¦
being excited and vulnerable at the same time.
One month to go.
Grateful for everyone whoās already supporting this in ways you probably donāt even realise šš¼
And I canāt wait to meet some of you on tour šŗšø
If youāve pre-ordered or youāre planning to come say hi on my the tourā¦Iād love to know š
Youāre not behind in life.
Youāre just holding the wrong piece.
Not everything is meant to fit right now.
Not every path is meant to make sense immediately.
And forcing itā¦
only makes the picture harder to see.
Step back. Breathe. Shift your perspective.
Thatās where clarity begins.
Save this for when life feels confusing.
Share it with someone who needs the reminder.
From my book: The Monkās Mindset
Comment āPUZZLEā and Iāll send you the full reflectionāthereās a part I couldnāt fit in the video
10 lessons Iām still learning at 47.
Not perfectly. Not always gracefully. Just still practising.
Some came in stillness. Some came the hard way.
And truthfullyā¦ Iām still learning all of them.
If one of these met you where you are, save it for when you need it again.
Or share it with someone who might need the reminder today.

Spring Recovery š·
You donāt have to carry winter into spring.
This ride is your chance to release, reset, and begin again by planting with intention
Itās less about pushingā¦ and more about listening to where you are right now.
Catch it OD now
