    love...
    Great to hear this episode.. ❤️
  • absabrinacd
    Thank you
    Love all the solo episodes, really liked the last solo episode on how to set boundaries without offending people 💖 setting boundaries have become the norm but they can come off harsh so I love how you give a different take on setting boundaries by being empathetic of other people’s feelings. Thank you!

    Ego through the back door
    As Eckart Tolle has educated and warned against the ego coming through the “back door”, I see this result more and more with Jay Shetty (picture of himself on his first book, the guest who commented running in to Jay at Dubai International Airport, flying 1st class on Emirates Airlines, etc. Ad nauseam). What happened to stillness and presence?

    Authenticity and love
    I love what Jay Shetty stands for, he’s beautifully, authentic, wonderfully flawed, and open to talk about anything with intention. He seems to be a genuinely and joyful person, especially towards his community and loved ones. I most especially enjoyed his discussion with Matthew Hussey. Matthew was another persona that I have come to adore , bearing the same qualities as Jay in regards to authenticity, and beautifully flawed, and owning it. It is so important to own our imperfections, flaws, because there’s no such thing as perfection within a human, and there’s no such thing as being unflawed as a human so it’s important to own it and own it beautifully. And these men do so with all heart and invitation.

    Too many commercials- advertising
    The content is good but there are so many disruptions before, during and after….

    This episode was right on time! I am currently going through a break up that caught me completely off guard and the first thing I said to myself is “what did I do?” This episode helped me gain some clarity on the situation and I’m so grateful! Love this podcast and the insightful content!
  • LisaMarie814
    Thankful and grateful
    Love all your content I come across on all your social media platforms thank you

    Thank you Jay Shetty and your team!!!
    I don’t write reviews, however I’ve been compelled to write a review for this podcast because it is engaging, educative and very helpful for a needed change in our “modern society’s mindsets”. I forward most of the interviews to my 20-year old son with a purpose!!: the topics discussed are similar to our arguments but this time are convincing, it is like a “socialization” of a scientific knowledge. The interviews are masterfully prepared to achieve this! Personally, I’ve been able to “feed” my curiosity and enrich my personal library. I recommend it to many of my friends. I have the suggestion to make this interviews accesible to Spanish-speaking audience and other languages too!

    Life changing podcast
    Recently I’ve been going through a really tough time. I’ve been sober for one week and I’ve listened to your podcast everyday during that week. I was searching for answers to my problems, and through your conversation with La La I got so many answers. I received so much hate as kid for the color of skin, and it made me hate myself, which led to addiction to escape those feelings. After listening to this podcast I realized it was never my fault, and after 4 years, I finally have gotten to the root of my addiction issues, and it’s all thanks to your podcast. Thank you so much Jay, you’ve truly changed my life.

    Ads.
    Tough to find the content through the ridiculous number of ads. Very annoying.

    Every week something inspiring
    I listen to every episode. This man is genuine and is actively working towards helping the world become kinder, more thoughtful and motivated to make positive change in their own lives and in community. Serious, but joyful, Jay is fostering real personal growth in this modern world. It’s a beautiful combo. He’s a real hero is many senses! He has an open heart and a curious mind, a gracious conversationalist creating space for deep and personal conversations. He interviews amazing inspiring people who blow me away, even when I may have my own prior judgements honestly. Always learning new information, new stories, and helpful ways of rethinking. I think my only wish is that he would not focus primarily on wealthy “successful” people. It also seems he has a bias when speaking to his audience, as if all people listening are in his own age group, which can alienate audiences at times. Because my thought is not everyone is in their mid thirties, and not all want to become CEOs or worship them. I mean that with all the love. Because we are all interesting people, no matter what job we do, what class we are part of, are from or have come into, and all cultures, age groups, are valuable, etc. Most everyone has a inspirational story to tell. Bottom line, I very much appreciate his work bringing insightful and current information on mental health, wellness, functional medicine, psychology, self improvement, spirituality and healthy communication to the world twice a week, it is truly great stuff. I find every show incredibly beneficial! I do overall champion his work and recommend his episodes constantly to my friends. Yay Jay! Thank you for all you do, and very best wishes to you and your team.

    Fraud
    Don’t give this guy a platform. Everything he says is stolen from somebody else.
  • Ryan from BD
    More advertisements that Youtube
    After 2 mins a straight advertisements I turned it off
  • Yoipod4yBB
    Jay can grow, listeners and critics too
    I think there’s area for growth and validity in the critiques if Jay and his team open the space for feedback. On IG they need to get better at citing and giving credits to authors of quotes on both image and caption. On the podcast Jay can name the scientific studies he makes claims on: whole title of study, authors, what they did and what they found. Same for books and use of concepts and theories: who wrote them who proposed a concept etc. Other listeners can start demanding these standards not only to Jay but also other wellness podcasts where they don’t cite and just make health and psychology claims. Listeners can also learn to use what serves them from Jay’s advice and leave the rest.
  • Msndjskx
    A phony
    Fraud. Even the podcasts can’t hide it. He knows nothing. Uses what everyone’s already said and done etc. nothing knew here. Watch the scandal. He’s in deep. Knew it was too good to be true!

    Dine with Kate Sullivan
    I really enjoyed this interview and look forward to eating at “fresh”! On the other hand, I loved your wisdom and would love to hear your wisdom on the generation of children taking caring of our parents, especially for persons who don’t have the funds for caregivers and also, do not qualify for government agency help. I lost my beloved mother literally end of 2019 who was in a wheelchair for almost 8 years and it was a great challenge but I loved my Mother and I am a very responsible person so took care of her. My Father is a amazing man and he became wheelchair bound almost 14 months ago, I am very solution-oriented, so it’s working. But, he only trusts me and we are together 24/7!!! None of my siblings will help, as I lived with my parents (at their request and I am a American born of Indian descent) and am the single girl. I don’t worry about them, but, being home bound 24/7 is hard, during the pandemic it made sense. I tried having friends but that became stressful as they expected me to make a elaborate meal and it took away the quality care I need to give to my dear Father thus me feeling very stressed. I feel I have no friends and no life, accept the tv! I do have a lovely dog, he brings me so much joy. My situation and this is the realistic life is caring for my father, but I have lost my worth.
  • Future Momma
    J shetty is a fraud
    Look no further than the recent scandals he’s been involved in- plagiarism, lying about credentials, don’t listen, support or buy to someone like this. There are far more qualified and honest people to tune into- this guy isn’t one of them!!!
  • TheBrowneyedgal
    Against all odds
    I listened to the episode with Victoria Jackson twice - it is one of the best podcasts I have ever come across. What an inspiration! What a life story! I bet the episode only covered the tip of the iceberg. She is such an inspiration, and I do not say that lightly! I am truly fascinated by her resilience, her stamina, her perseverance, her accomplishments, and her desire and willingness to see and bring out the goodness in others. I wish her a long & healthy life. May she continue to inspire, create and make things happen. What an extraordinary story!

    Jay Shetty we appreciate you!
    Me and my sisters love this podcast and it has resonated with us on so many deep levels. Thank you for your staying “on purpose.”
  • Superslime000
    Too many ads
    Ads are too distracting and make it difficult to get into the necessary headspace for otherwise great information.
  • rive.ting
    Disappointing, it has very little in the way of substance
    Not surprised about the article in the Guardian’s. A friend recommended this podcast but it left me disappointed. I tried to give it a chance but by the third episode I was cringing and it was actually making me anxious. All the advice is generic and hashed together from other people who aren’t credited. It’s one of the worst things I have listened to and I was kicking myself because I had wasted my time on this blather. His delivery is extremely cheesy and all over the place. It’s bad when the ads and the content sound very similar. He mentioned he spends only two hours on each episode and it shows. The podcast would be much better if he talked more about his own personal expereinces in greater detail and wove in what he learned. And be honest and credit the people who came up with the methods that you recommend.I hope he does some soul searching and revamps this podcast. It needs to be slower, personal with a more methodical approach vs. rushing through an amalgam of borrowed stuff. And he needs to stop being so trite and try to be himself.
  • Kasssshhhhh
    TOO MANY ADS :(
    It’s hard to be listening to something spiritual/ sensitive and then be pulled into an advertisement every 10 minutes. Love you Jay, but maybe there’s a way you can dedicate the beginning or the end to incorporating your ads. It’s so distracting and takes away from the message and the overall vibe. Still rating 5 stars, but starting to pull away from this pod :(
  • Nai168444
    He’s been exposed as a liar about being a Monk
    He lied about being a monk with multiple discrepancies about his past thanks to the Guardian article. Im shocked that a man so huge on spirituality and truthfulness is a liar and a fraud.
  • Grandheasher
    It’s like therapy without leaving the house
    Go to personal therapy too, but also listen to this. Talk about things from here in therapy! You’ve got this! I believe in you!
  • KNewiTunes2019
    Incredible discussion on Glucose-Valuable!!
    Jay, your podcast is Fantastic (as are you!) and this discussion with Jessie is so impactful!! I’ve needed this information and the two of you unpack this topic in a helpful and non-intimidating way. Share this with the world!! It is Really beneficial- thank you!!!
  • The Moria's Rose's Garden
    Turns out he’s a fraud.
    Bummer what’s come out. Always left his episodes feeling icky and worse about myself. Always telling people to”do more.”thanks.
  • Kenzaj92
    Fraud
    This guy wasn’t even a monk and uses “trendy spirituality” to interview celebs. Sorry but I see right through that!
  • Chef Chlo
    Grateful for this podcast!

    Life Changing
    This podcast has changed my thinking and I am grateful for it. I struggled with self confident and listening to this has boosted it 100 fold because I actually practice the exercises Jay Shetty has given. If you are wondering if you should listen to this podcast I’m telling you now, DO IT! You will not regret it.

  • CliffNotes22
    A joke
    It’s just an infomercial he plugs himself his key and maybe he has five minutes of you know my advice I don’t know how this podcast is so successful such drag I’ll never listen to it again
  • Ruge Family
    Hands down the best!
    This is by far the absolute best podcast! The content is always full of wise words from the host himself as well as his guests. Even if you think the topic isn’t applicable to you, you’ll never walk away disappointed after listening. There is always something of value to take away from any of the shows in his collection! Thank you Jay Shetty!
  • ninkeymagash
    Awful podcast with useless information
    All the advice he gives out is very bland and can be found anywhere in any basic news / self-help site. Also his life shows are awful. He forced a woman on stage to confront her brother and it was mortifying and an awful, awful experience to witness. I can’t imagine what it must’ve been like for them to be on the stage going through that. I’m not sure why this guy thinks he’s famous. He certainly doesn’t deserve to be.
  • CFLSold
    It is not possible…
    …to overshadow the value of this show. I’ve been a disciple fan since the beginning. But Radhi may have just done so. As a cook restaurateur for several decades before my new career, I collected my share of cookbooks 1 old and new, modern and classic, to the tune of thousands. After this podcast, I was intrigued - and added Radhi’s new book to my shelves. Then I added it to my life. This book is radiant and beautiful and empowering. The recipes are the bonus, and though touted as a cookbook, you could probably find it in the philosophy section. Or the fitness section. Or the self-improvement section. Maybe even the romance section. This is the first cookbook that made me cry; it’s the first cookbook that made me want to be a better husband and father. And the food just happens to be rather amazing as well. Thank you Radhi. And to your baa, your mum, and yes - even to you Jay. This book is an absolute masterpiece.

    I love your show! Michelle Obama interview and 8 scientific ways to Stay Motivated!!
    Always always hits home for me.. thank you Jay! Love the people you interview and it just hit me— you need to have Dr. Andrew Huberman on your show!! You two would get on great together and connect well. Oh yeah and Oprah also. She would probably love to be on your show and talk to you, Jay!! Thanks for a wonderful podcast! Wow 🤩 the things you say are so on point! I will definitely be doing these. I already do the reframing and the celebrating my victories, but will definitely do the contract with myself to help me commit to developing and keeping friendships, mentors, a sponsor, and a best friend to share these moments with, to express my feelings to and work on myself and have accountability for my goal setting and dream achievement. And the 20 minutes in the morning— I’m going to try this when I have a lot of appointments in my day and know I don’t have a lot of time for a longer intense workout. Some of my favorite trainers know about the “exercise snack” idea already from the FitOn App so there are some excellent bite size (10) minute HIIT classes I can do and then move to meditation 🧘 and journal 📝 the hardest part is sitting down and journaling. Thank you again for an amazing podcast, Jay! Charity Armstrong

    Positivity for everyone
    We all NEED to receive the positive message that Jay is sending. He provides concepts backed by science. He encourages his guests to share their own experiences so that we all may learn how to become our best selves. Thank you Jay!

    please change that awful z100 intro

  • homebody5
    Trauma
    Your talk with Gabor Mate brought up several aha moments… One being “pick your pain” . Another, it is possible to hold to opposite feelings at once. This conversation brought up some things I need to address. I feel guilty for so many events in the past that it would consume me. I feel guilt for things I didn’t even do. I would apologize constantly. After listening to this conversation , I am going to read Gabor’s latest book. Thank you for sharing with us!
  • Brighteyedgirl99
    Episode why your trauma is showing up as…
    This episode resonated so much with me, the timing of this was impeccable for things I’m trying to process and heal from.
  • CloudChaser14
    Wanted to like it
    I was optimistic about this podcast and tried but couldn’t get through one episode. It didn’t feel authentic or personal. I’ll stick to Huberman.
  • Fools girl
    I really love all your interviews and your insightful messages.
    Thank you fir making this a quality podcast.

    It Takes Time
    I just listened to Why You Haven’t Healed From Your Breakup and How To Get Over Your Ex. Jay touches on a nearly universal topic with an easygoing voice and seemingly relatable nature. He delivers a strong lead-in and fills the time with a logic-filled follow-up and pop culture references. His reading of the poem, The Stone, by Jessica Watson was a nice touch. I related well to the point Jay begins to make at 22:13. I’ve found allowing others to go through their stages at their own pace (no many how often I’ve heard it) often leads to their own revelations - almost as some therapists tend to do. It may hurt to watch them stagnate at a stage, but it takes time; THEIR time, not ours. Good Podcast, Sir Shetty.🙏🏾

    Hey Jay
    Thank you for introducing me to the real James Corden. Alison Schuback

    A practical application to trusted guidance
    Thank you Jay, I admire how your delivery is pragmatic and easy to absorb while encouraging reflection on related topics in my own life. The blend of a philosophy and science with take aways leading to the practical application in real life is impressive. Thank you, Cymru
