Summary

I am delighted to kick off Season 4 of Feel Better Live More with former monk turned social media superstar, Jay Shetty. After having spent three years living as a monk in India, Jay believes that you don’t have to live like a monk to think like one. With his social media following now totaling over 32 million, Jay is transforming the ancient wisdom he has learned into bite-sized nuggets that will help us all live more meaningful and purposeful lives. So many of us these days are living lives that are not truly ours. Instead, we base our opinion of ourselves on what we think other people think of us. In today’s conversation, Jay and I talk about how we can figure out our own identity and live our truest and most authentic life. He talks us through his value audit exercise which will help us all on our way to living the life we really want. We also discuss the importance of staying open and curious to new ideas and how our childhood experiences play into all our relationships. We delve into gratitude and Jay shares some brilliant tips to help you get more out of your daily gratitude practice. This conversation is full of timeless wisdom, personal stories and actionable tips and I really hope it helps you live the life you were born to live.

0:00.0	Wasting your time trying to change how someone thinks of you can actually be one of the most worthless
0:06.3	pursuits in life. But changing how you think about yourself is probably one of the most worthwhile
0:12.2	pursuits in life, but the one we spend less time on. We're constantly trying to change how people
0:17.3	think about us and we think if they think highly of us then we'll feel better about
0:21.1	ourselves but that's not the case the case is we can change how we feel about ourselves by
0:26.1	changing our behavior and being more and aligned with the person we want to be with our values
0:30.6	hi my name is dr wrongen chatterjee. Welcome to Feel Better Live More.
0:43.6	Hello and welcome. This is season four of my Feel Better Live More podcast. I hope you've all
0:52.1	had a wonderful summer. I hope you had some time to switch off,
0:55.5	relax, chill out with family, with loved ones. But now as September has kicked off,
1:02.4	many of us are getting back into some kind of routine. And one part that I hope will become a
1:08.2	part of your routine is my weekly Wednesday episodes. Now, one of
1:13.6	the really nice things over the summer was all the messages I got from people saying that they
1:17.5	were really missing my podcast. Many people said that they felt there was a hole in their week,
1:23.2	particularly on Wednesdays. I've got to say, it's incredibly flattering to be a part of something
1:28.9	that has become a regular part of many of your lives. So thank you for allowing me into your
1:35.3	earbuds and into your lives. Now, just a quick note to let you know that my third book
1:42.9	Feel Better in Five has just been released in
1:47.1	the United States. I know many of you have asked me to tell you when it was coming out. It's
1:51.6	been out in the UK since January and many other countries around the world, but it is finally
1:56.7	available in America. It's about how we can change our lives in simple five-minute chunks.
