Summary
At 21 years old, Jay became a monk. For the next three years he applied himself to a simpler life, away from modern trappings.
Ten years later, he tells Fearne what he learned from that time that he still applies today - helping him on the road to helping others - and becoming a best-selling author and podcaster to boot.

| 0:10.4 | It's a beautiful collection of songs, all focusing on mental health and well-being, recorded by some of my |
| 0:19.7 | all-time and also brand-new favourite artists, including |
| 0:23.3 | I'm so excited about this list of people, Emily Sunday, Sam Fender and Ludovico in Audi. |
| 0:33.2 | You know that I love Ludovico so much, or Ludo, if I'm allowed to call him that. |
| 0:37.8 | Oh, we at Happy Place have always believed in the power of music to help us work through difficult |

| 1:46.7 | Jay Shetty. If I'm always thinking about how I look and how people think I look and how they |
| 1:52.7 | perceive me, then I don't get a chance to form how I feel about myself. And that's really the key. |
| 1:57.7 | It's not about having or not having. It's about are you doing the things |
| 2:02.4 | because they make you feel good about yourself? Or are you doing it for the validation and |
| 2:08.3 | approval of others? Jay was a monk, an actual monk, living in monasteries in India and Europe at the |
