When Jay Shetty was 18, he was invited to hear a monk speak. He agreed to go for his friend’s sake, but he didn’t expect much.
It’s just a monk. How interesting could it be?
That one evening completely changed the trajectory of his life. As the monk spoke, Jay saw a level of peace and happiness he hadn’t seen anywhere else. When the monk explained the power of mindset, Jay realized he wanted to learn how to master his mindset too.
Leaving behind his football jerseys and dreams of a lucrative corporate career, Jay sold and gave away his belongings and lived as a monk for almost four years.
Today, Jay Shetty is a viral storyteller and host of On Purpose with Jay Shetty, the world’s #1 health podcast.
