How did Jay Shetty change Jake's life?
Hi, pussies, and welcome back to Therapist. Tonight, we have on Jay Shetty, who literally sat here and changed my life.

He is the best, and if you want to see him on tour... He is currently on the On Purpose live tour, which might be coming to a city near you. But yeah, the episode was great.

Please welcome Jay Shetty.
Oh, Jay, that's so sweet.
Thank you so much. Oh my God, and I forgot to include that you're a New York Times bestselling author.
You don't, it doesn't matter.
It matters to me. It really doesn't. It's totally fine.
It matters to me. It was perfect and heartfelt, so that's more important.
It was heartfelt. I'm anxious for some reason, but I'm really excited that you're here.
I'm really grateful to be here, and I know we were DMing a couple of months ago or whatever, and I'm such a fan of what you're doing and how you're getting these incredible messages out there in this really nuanced way, and it's beautiful to watch, so thank you. 100%. 100%. you're having an impact. I feel like you're able to talk about really meaningful stuff, but make it hilarious, make it funny. That's the greatest superpower. So congrats.
Thank you. Yeah, truly. Thank you. Do you hear that? Meaningful. Meaning. Well, I have so many questions for you, but I kind of want to start. So your journey kind of started when you were in university, right? Yes. And you heard someone speak and then you kind of like adapted this entire new lifestyle.
Absolutely. That's right. You want me to tell you about it? Please. I was born and raised in London. And I always described myself, I was an average kid. I was doing everything under the sun, messing around, having fun. But when you grew up in an Indian family, the most important thing is getting good grades at school. So I always managed to get good grades at school. And I really thought that I was going to graduate, get a safe job, get married, have kids, like do the thing. And all of that was kind of flipped on its head when I would go and get invited to go to talks at university. And this is before podcasting. This is early days. So you actually went to events. You heard people talk in person. And I'm at this event and I hear this monk talk.
And I was kind of skeptical or in the beginning, maybe not skeptical, but I was a bit like, I don't know what I'm going to get from this. I don't know if it's going to resonate. I've grown up around monks. I'd seen monks before, but I'd never really met a monk or heard a monk speak in that way. And I was so blown away. And it was just like meeting someone that you were so attracted to, but it wasn't physical. And I was like, wait a minute, how am I so attracted to you? Like I'm a, you know, 18, 19 year old kid. Oh, you were that young.
So you just had gotten to university.
Yeah, absolutely. And you're like this at the time he was maybe in his thirties and externally there was nothing attractive about him. He was wearing robes, he shaved his head. But I was just like, wow, everything he was coming out of his mouth. I was just thinking, this is profound. And there were two things that stood out to me. One was, he was saying there's two goals in life. One is to master the mind and master your emotions. And the second is to serve others and help other people. And I thought, I've never heard that before. I'd met people who were beautiful, famous, rich, strong. I'd heard famous people talk before. But this was the first time that I felt he was happy and content. And I thought to myself, I want to know what he's drinking.
