What trauma did Jay Shetty overcome?
I had to deal with a lot of trauma to get to this point. I believe you're worthy of love and you deserve love. I know what was done to me was not about me. Everyone in the world thinks that romantic love is the highest form of love. I'd argue that a mother's love for her child is far more the truest, purest form of love.
How can love be the center of your life?
I'm not dating because my relationship with my kids, it's everything to me.
I'm willing to give up or sacrifice anything in order to put love at the center of my life.
This is more than a show. It's a window into my world and the stories that make it meaningful. Welcome to Chloe in Wonderland. I know we last saw each other in India, actually. Me, you, your wife, Kim. We were there for a fabulous wedding. Yes. And you actually took us by where you practiced being a monk.
Yes. I took you to one of the temples I lived at. Yeah. It was so beautiful to share that with you. Thank you for being so curious and open and respectful. It was wonderful to see just how many questions you both had and how gracious you were.
I read your book, Think Like a Monk, a while ago. And just, you know, I'm a little sick, but one of the reasons why I loved, you said, I wrote it down because I don't want to mumble it up, but I love that you wrote. The work you were doing in the corporate world started to feel like it had no meaning because you didn't see the positive impact it had in society.
What did Jay learn from his time as a monk?
And one of the reasons why I wanted to do this podcast so badly is I don't want to discredit anything else that I do. I love fashion and fragrance and I love our TV show. I get to spend all this time with my family. But sometimes I feel like there has to be more of an impact that we're leaving on other people. And with this podcast, and, you know, there's going to be times where it's laughter and humorous and fun, but then there's also times where you get someone like you who's all about depth and you learn so much and you, it's really about paying it forward.
Well, you being so kind and gracious, I'm really touched by that. And I think for me, when you grow up in an Indian family, you have three choices. And the three choices would be a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. And it really does feel like that sometimes. I feel like I grew up not even knowing what careers existed beyond a certain set. And I think for me, what inspired me a lot was I was studying the lives of people that really inspired me. And that's why I love what you're doing with Wonderland, because I felt like my teens were kind of like that. I was exposed to so many different stories, biographies, autobiographies, people that I'd never met. And I was reading about Martin Luther King.
I was reading about Malcolm X. I was also reading Dwayne The Rock Johnson and David Beckham. And that's where it comes in. I had this balance since day one. And what I found in all of them was that they had faith and spirituality somewhere. It existed in some part of their life. And what was beautiful is that you could see that these people were always driven from a deeper place. And when I would read the words of Martin Luther King, or I'd read the words of Malcolm X, I'd always feel like they were just living in this invisible world inside. And I just thought to myself that if everyone in my life that I respect and admire have all worked from a deeper place, then maybe that's something worth pursuing. And I think it was very simple and basic, if I'm honest, Chloe.
I saw a lot of people around me who were doing well financially, who were doing well materially, who were doing well career-wise, but they weren't happy. And I think when I was 18, I'd met people who were beautiful. I'd met people who were rich. I'd met people who were strong and powerful, but they weren't happy and fulfilled. And so I thought to myself, when I met the monks, I was like, they seem happy. They seem fulfilled. Now I have to caveat that with, I don't think it's because you can't be happy in the material world. I don't think it's because you can't have a fulfilled life with a day-to-day job. I really have to clarify that. I think I just hadn't had that experience. So for me, it was curiosity.
