Name

Biography Jay Shetty is a British writer, motivational speaker, and former monk. Born in London to Indian parents, he was raised in a traditional family that emphasized education and hard work. During his university years, Jay was introduced to the life-changing wisdom of a monk who spoke at his school. Inspired by this experience, Jay left his expected career path and ventured to India, where he lived as a monk for three years in an ashram. There, he practiced meditation, mindfulness, and a life of service. After his time as a monk, Jay returned to the modern world with a mission to share what he had learned. Through his videos, podcasts, and now his book Think Like a Monk, he translates ancient wisdom into practical advice that anyone can follow to live a calmer, more meaningful life.
