Join the Office of Employee Assistance (OEA) on Friday, January 26, 2024, for the bimonthly Panthers Thrive Book Club Spring Reading Group.

This spring, the OEA has selected the inspirational book Think Like a Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose by Jay Shetty.

In this empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Combining ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, he reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us.

Transforming abstract lessons into advice and exercises, Shetty's writings can help reduce stress and improve relationships.

Register today to be a part of this inspiring book club!
