onks are some of the happiest people on the planet. But that doesn’t mean you should have to shave your head and don saffron robes to lead a joyful life. “You don’t have to live like a monk to think like a monk,” says British- Indian life coach Jay Shetty. Speaking on Zoom from his sunny Los Angeles home, the former monk-turned- influencer says the key to happiness lies within us if we simply shift our mindset. “If you search for joy, you won’t find what you’re looking for,” says Shetty. “Joy and happiness are not destinations, but by-products. They are the natural.” Sporting a laid-back hoodie and I-woke-up-like-this hair, Shetty is disarmingly down-to-earth and has a knack for making timeless wisdom relatable and accessible.
