Jay Shetty’s Journey
Growing up, Jay felt pressure to become one of three things: a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. After feeling like a failure, he chose a different path. Instead of attending his college graduation, he traveled to India to become a monk. For three years, he meditated for four to eight hours a day and dedicated his life to helping others. One of his teachers later encouraged him to leave the monk’s path to share his insights with the world.
After returning home heavily in debt and without any recognizable skills, Jay reconnected with old school friends. Many of them were stressed and unhappy, working at large corporations. They invited Jay to coach them on well-being, purpose, and mindfulness.
