Hey, Welcome to Lisa's Book Club, a podcast where I

back the curtain on what it's really like being a
best selling author. They're guilty pleasures, latest projects, and so
much more. Hey, Ja Shetty joined us on the show
this week because he's coming to Boston at the Box
Center Wang Theater May fifteenth. There are some tickets available,

from that, what we should all be doing to live
better lives, and so much more.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
So I hope you enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Jay Shetty, good to have you on the show. This

chief purpose officer of Colm, purpose driven entrepreneur, fifty million
social media platforms, I mean fifty million followers, and you
finally made it to the billion Lisa Morning Show us
officially put you over the top. Jack.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I'm so greatful to meet you both. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well, we're happy you're coming to Boston.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So what can people expect, you know, with your on
purpose tour. When you come to the Box Center, you're
saying there are going to be some surprise guests.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yes, I'm so excited. I'm going to be bringing my
podcast for a live in person experience. I'll be interviewing
a very special guest for the audience. We'll be doing
a Q and A session so people can ask me questions,
the audience questions. I'll be leading us all in the meditation,
and so it's going to be a truly memorable evening
and I can't wait for people to come out.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Can you tell us who these surprise people might be?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
J Oh, they might be. It might be, it might
be coming out shortly. We may it's definitely someone who's
who's known for being in Boston. Let's say that.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Ah. But then again, if you told us it wouldn't
be a surprise guest anymore. What did Jake?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Exactly? Exactly? But I promise it will be worth it.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I got to tell you, Jay, there's so many people
I've told over the past week that Lisa and I
were going to be talking to Jay Shetty. They were overwhelmed.
Their immediate reaction was, oh my god, I love him.
So much.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Oh, I love that. That makes me so happy, and
send my love to them.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Please, I shall, I shall. Now I'm looking at a
long list of other major celebrities that you've had on
everybody from Kobe Bryant to j Lo will Smith, Selena Gomez,
and Benny Blanco. I thought was a wonderful, wonderful interview.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Jay, Oh, thank you so much. Yeah, they're the best.
It was incredible to have such a beautiful conversation with
both of them, And it was amazing to see people
all over the internet talk about positive masculinity and healthy love,
and I think it's made everyone hopeful to find real
love again, which is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Jay, You've been producing content for like ten years. You've
been helping people navigate this crazy world that we live in.
Why do you think people are craving all of these
types of conversations.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
I think life's just, if we're honest, it's got harder
for everyone. It's difficult. It's challenging, whether that be work,
whether it be outside of work, whether it be family.
I think people have more stress in their lives. People
are busier, they have less help, and so I think
it's a time when people are really seeking, and I
think also at the same time, there's a great appetite
(03:14):
for wanting to build habits and improve their lives and
improve their sleep and improve the quality of their relationships, which,
by the way, I believe are all good things, because
if we make a difference when things are easy and
things are a bit better for us, then things become
better for us in the long term. So I think
it's amazing that people are opening up to all of
these ideas, whether it's through podcast, books, live events, and
(03:37):
everything else.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Jay, let me ask you this, these are crazy times
right now. We keep hearing the word seeing the word anxiety.
People are very anxious. They're very nervous between inflation and
tariffs and the cost of things for your house, for
your home, for your family. If we were in a
session right now and we were telling you we were anxious,
(03:59):
we were freaked out, what would you tell us?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
The first thing I'd say is that's normal, and that's natural.
It's not a weakness. It's normal right now to feel anxiety.
It's natural to feel anxiety, and I think we need
to stop feeling like there's something wrong with us. If
we feel it, we almost think there's some glitch or
there's some mistake we made, or that it's not meant
(04:22):
to happen. I think that's what's meant to happen. If
things are uncertain, we will feel anxiety. What I would
say is that in times of uncertainty, we often look
for certainty to feel stable. But instead of looking for certainty,
we should look for service, look for opportunities to help
someone else, look for opportunities to make someone else's day.
(04:43):
Sometimes you'll relieve your anxiety quicker by trying to help
someone else than you will by trying to solve your own.
And so I think we will find a lot more
meaning and a lot more connection if we help others
more than even trying to solve our own anxiety.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I know that you talk a lot about the practice
of metay citation, and I keep telling Billy that he needs.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
To meditate, But why should we all be doing it?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Well, I think it's because of what we just spoke about.
There's such a newfound, you know, origination of stress through
so many things, whether it's you wake up in the
morning and you spill your coffee or you wait, you know,
you get to work and you're already fifteen minutes late
because of the traffic, or you get to a meeting
and you realize there's a task that's been incomplete. I
(05:28):
think there's so many moments in the day that creates trust.
So what we need is a practice that helps us
balance that out. We need a practice to bring us
back into feeling centered, and meditation does just that. So
what I often recommend to people is, if you're feeling stressed,
you're feeling like you're out of alignment today, breed out
for longer than you breathe in. So breathe in for
(05:49):
accounter for more, and breed out for more than four.
If you exhale for longer than you inhale, it relaxes
your body and mind. Again, when your breath gets shallow
and your breath gets quick, you want to deepen it
and slow it down.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
That's what I've been doing wrong. I'm breathing in the.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Wrong direction, a shallow breather.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Jay.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
If you don't mind, I want to read a couple
of your quotes and have you elaborate on you. If
you don't mind, I love this one. The longer you
stay on the wrong train, the more expensive it is
to get home. Please elaborate.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yes, I shared that the other day. It's not one
of mine. It's someone that I shared earlier this week.
But no, I love that quote. It's I think for
so many of us, we feel we maybe got on
the wrong job, or for so many of us, we
feel we got into the wrong relationship. And I think
a lot of us are scared of leaving something that
feels bad because we're scared of the unknown. But the
(06:44):
reality is, if we stay on that train for too long,
if we stay in that relationship for too long, with
that job for too long, it actually becomes harder to
find our way back. So it's never too late to quit.
It's never too late to pause, it's never too late
to stop. It's important to do that as soon as
you feel you can. So I try to encourage people
to not put this pressure on themselves to push something
(07:06):
or force something to work if it's not serving them.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I'm getting the chills just listening to you, Jay. At
least you had another one there.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Becoming the best version of yourself comes with a lot
of goodbyes.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Ah. I mean that's similar, isn't it. That idea of this.
I think we're so scared of saying goodbye. We're so
scared of saying this is my last. And by the way,
that's all real, like I felt it too. But I've
always found that when you say goodbye, the reason why
it's scary is because you think it's the end, when
actually it is a new beginning. Saying goodbye to something
means there's a new start, there's a new opportunity. Saying
(07:39):
goodbye to a job means there's a new one. It's
it's a pivot. And that's what's so interesting. When you
look back, you always see these moments that felt like
the end as a powerful pivot. And so if you've
been waiting to take that leap, take that step in
your life, now's the time.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
This is that sign God, Jay, you make everybody feel
so comfortable. Are you looking for any new friends.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I'm having a great time with both of you.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
We're going to come to your show.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Do you have a favorite please? Please come?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Oh, we're definitely coming. Do you have a favorite book?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I know you have two books out, but do you
have a favorite book that you always go back to?
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Oh? That's a that's a great question. Uh. One of
my favorite books of all time is probably Thinking Fast
and Slow by Daniel Kahnman. It's a brilliant, brilliant book
really breaks down how the mind works, how the mind
tricks us, how our thoughts work. I love that book.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Jay, you spent three years as amongk you were meditating
eight hours a day, and then you realize there are
a lot of similarities between that world and the digital world.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
How so well I found the connection between what I
was learning, and I was thinking, wow, this would really
help people that I grew up with, and you know,
my generation and then every generation that's now living in
the digital world. I find that if you're living in
astant digital landscape with a screen in front of you,
having practices and habits that allow you to detox and
(09:06):
disconnect or even more important. And so I'm grateful that
I've now been able to see the fruits of that labor,
because you know, just around ten years ago it was
just an idea that now I've seen the impact of it.
It gives me even more confidence that these tools that
are thousands of years old are actually so practical and impactful.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
You're not still meditating eight hours a day, are you, Jay.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Not even close? Not even close. It's nowhere near. I
don't think I could. I don't think I could hack
that with my schedule. But I do go back to
the monastery every January with my wife to do that.
So we do go back and start our year there,
which is one of our favorite things to do.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Good for you.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Do you have any strategies for specifically families.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I'm a mom.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I have two boys, like to like, everybody's on their
phone all the time, dinner time's tough.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Is there anything we can do to help that?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I think we need no technology zones and no technology
times in our home. So there have to be rooms
in our home, like the kitchen table or the bedroom
where a technology free zones. That means you included everyone
doesn't use their phone in that area. It's a rule.
You leave it in a jar, you put it aside,
and you make it a rule where you now have
(10:17):
a point of connection. Maybe you add a question that
you talk about it every dinner time. Maybe you talk
about an event. Maybe you talk about a TikTok or
an Instagram real you saw like, make it interactive, make
it fun, make it casual, but take the phone out
of certain places. Make a commitment that there are certain
times and certain zones in your home that you don't
use your phone, and I think it goes. It's all
(10:39):
about setting an example. It's if you're willing to do it.
If you're willing to stick to it, they will be
able to as well. And don't make it a punishment.
Make it something fun, make it exciting, find a positive
alternative to switch it for. I think one of the
biggest mistakes we make is we're trying to get rid
of a bad habit, but we don't have a good
solution to swap it for. And so find something that
(11:00):
fun to discuss, that's interesting to talk about, where people
don't feel forced and pressurized into doing it.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Jay, we're a pop music station here in Boston. You'll
see when you get here for the Wang appearance. But
you know, you've had Kendall Jenner on, You've had Will
Smith on, You've had j Lo on, You've had Kevin Hart,
and recently you had Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. Question
is who are you listening to?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Oh, that's a great question. I've definitely been listening to
Benny and Selena's new album. I said I Love you
first for sure, So yeah, I'll go with that.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
All right, good.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Choice, very good choice. We love Benny Blanco. He's so
evolved as a mayor.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Right, a musical genius, and I an amazing man too.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
We have to ask you.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Every time your name comes up, Jay, everyone says, oh
my god, I love him so much, But they also say, God,
he has the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Do you hear how many times a day do.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
You hear that? I? I hear it often. I'm very
grateful for it, but I can't take any credit for
them because I didn't do anything for them. So it's
one of those catch twenty two situations where yeah, it's like,
what do you do when you didn't earn them or
take credit for them? So, yeah, I'm grateful.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
So they're not contacts.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Definitely, definitely, No.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I am kidding.
Speaker 4 (12:23):

excited to be there again soon.

Do you have a favorite please? Please come?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Oh, we're definitely coming. Do you have a favorite book?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I know you have two books out, but do you
have a favorite book that you always go back to?
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Oh? That's a that's a great question. Uh. One of
my favorite books of all time is probably Thinking Fast
and Slow by Daniel Kahnman. It's a brilliant, brilliant book
really breaks down how the mind works, how the mind
tricks us, how our thoughts work. I love that book.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Jay, you spent three years as amongk you were meditating
eight hours a day, and then you realize there are
a lot of similarities between that world and the digital world.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
How so well I found the connection between what I
was learning, and I was thinking, wow, this would really
help people that I grew up with, and you know,
my generation and then every generation that's now living in
the digital world. I find that if you're living in
astant digital landscape with a screen in front of you,
having practices and habits that allow you to detox and
(09:06):
disconnect or even more important. And so I'm grateful that
I've now been able to see the fruits of that labor,
because you know, just around ten years ago it was
just an idea that now I've seen the impact of it.
It gives me even more confidence that these tools that
are thousands of years old are actually so practical and impactful.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
You're not still meditating eight hours a day, are you, Jay.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Not even close? Not even close. It's nowhere near. I
don't think I could. I don't think I could hack
that with my schedule. But I do go back to
the monastery every January with my wife to do that.
So we do go back and start our year there,
which is one of our favorite things to do.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Good for you.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Do you have any strategies for specifically families.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I'm a mom.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I have two boys, like to like, everybody's on their
phone all the time, dinner time's tough.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Is there anything we can do to help that?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I think we need no technology zones and no technology
times in our home. So there have to be rooms
in our home, like the kitchen table or the bedroom
where a technology free zones. That means you included everyone
doesn't use their phone in that area. It's a rule.
You leave it in a jar, you put it aside,
and you make it a rule where you now have
(10:17):
a point of connection. Maybe you add a question that
you talk about it every dinner time. Maybe you talk
about an event. Maybe you talk about a TikTok or
an Instagram real you saw like, make it interactive, make
it fun, make it casual, but take the phone out
of certain places. Make a commitment that there are certain
times and certain zones in your home that you don't
use your phone, and I think it goes. It's all
(10:39):
about setting an example. It's if you're willing to do it.
If you're willing to stick to it, they will be
able to as well. And don't make it a punishment.
Make it something fun, make it exciting, find a positive
alternative to switch it for. I think one of the
biggest mistakes we make is we're trying to get rid
of a bad habit, but we don't have a good
solution to swap it for. And so find something that
(11:00):
fun to discuss, that's interesting to talk about, where people
don't feel forced and pressurized into doing it.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Jay, we're a pop music station here in Boston. You'll
see when you get here for the Wang appearance. But
you know, you've had Kendall Jenner on, You've had Will
Smith on, You've had j Lo on, You've had Kevin Hart,
and recently you had Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. Question
is who are you listening to?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Oh, that's a great question. I've definitely been listening to
Benny and Selena's new album. I said I Love you
first for sure, So yeah, I'll go with that.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
All right, good.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Choice, very good choice. We love Benny Blanco. He's so
evolved as a mayor.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Right, a musical genius, and I an amazing man too.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
We have to ask you.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Every time your name comes up, Jay, everyone says, oh
my god, I love him so much, But they also say, God,
he has the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Do you hear how many times a day do.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
You hear that? I? I hear it often. I'm very
grateful for it, but I can't take any credit for
them because I didn't do anything for them. So it's
one of those catch twenty two situations where yeah, it's like,
what do you do when you didn't earn them or
take credit for them? So, yeah, I'm grateful.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
So they're not contacts.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Definitely, definitely, No.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I am kidding.
