What I mean by that is - are you crafting, designing, and intentionally creating your life? Or are you just coasting in the passenger seat of your life, which is just dragging you and driving you wherever it’s taking you?” – Jay Shetty “When I hear the word ‘mindfulness,’ to me, what it really means is intentionality. I hear the term “mindfulness” a lot, but I knew Jay would bring an interesting perspective to the table, and he didn’t fail to deliver. I especially wanted to ask him about mindfulness. I was so excited to have Jay on the podcast - particularly now that he’s published Think Like a Monk - because I knew he’d have a lot of wisdom to share.

This episode is inspiring, informative, and uplifting. As a former monk, my close friend Jay Shetty has a unique perspective on cultivating a mindset, lifestyle, and daily routine to help achieve happiness and success. My guest today is here to teach us all how to cultivate the habits that create happiness.
And in the stressful time of a global pandemic, it’s more important than ever to work on finding that deep inner peace we all desire. You have the power to cultivate a mindset and a lifestyle of peace and happiness by retraining your brain. When it comes to finding happiness, peace, and purpose, mindfulness is key. The truth is, the potential for happiness is already inside all of us. (Sept.What’s the secret to a happy life? Is it money? Fame? The perfect relationship? Can you find it in a job? A new house? A fancy car? Shetty’s take on Hindu spirituality delivers practical wisdom for anyone looking to create better daily habits. Though Shetty draws on the Vedas and uses some Sanskrit terminology, his approach is nonsectarian and will appeal to anyone who is, at minimum, open to trying meditation. For instance, his chapter on routine offers advice for more structured living, such as establishing a morning regimen and creating “found time” (for gratitude, meditation, and exercise) to help bring more “intentionality” into one’s day. He also recommends a variety of meditative techniques and offers stories from his time in the ashram, and is at his most inspiring when focusing on practical matters. The common thread of his suggestions is his “spot, stop, and swap” method: spot the issue, stop to consider it, and swap in a new approach. Shetty, host of the On Purpose podcast and a former Vedic monk, debuts with a peppy and persuasive work that guides readers through a process of personal growth by “training our minds to focus on how to react, respond, and commit to what we want in life.” Shetty covers a wide range of topics, including diffusing fear, reconsidering career direction, and improving relationships.
