Jay Shetty Exposed by an Ex and a Journalist | An Unbiased Exploration

[@sumanthmurthy1642]

I may get blocked for this but here goes. Anything that charges $7500 per term for “wellness” and “healing” doesn’t sit right. This is part of the whole “Wellness Industrial Complex” which has hijacked spirituality and wellness. Therapists and Trained psychiatrists are scientifically backed by research. He also lent credence to Gwyneth Paltrow’s pseudoscientific “Goop”. This is similar to the “DEI Industrial Complex” where Diversity and Inclusion has been hijacked by corporations to cynically split people along racial lines. I believe in Diversity of ideas but the DEI movement seems to be a scam.

Actually a monk who has spiritual life doesn't get married in India that's how monks live. They leave their family/money behind just give their selves to the god's and be in meditation also the monks in India are really genuine. But I never felt right anything about Jay Shetty. Now it was uncover by ppl and I'm happy now.

[@susanna8612]

​​​@@anushrikshatriyaits same in west. If one decide to become monk or nun, they move to monastery and leave personal material life behind and certainly dont marry. Married person is no monk, monks lives in celibacy and are not interested in marital relationships. And ofcourse u dont need to become monk to be spiritual but why he claims to be one? Maybe he would like to be able to be one and just cannot. Now tries to change the definition of the word Monk.

Lets be little bit objective. If we talk a bout objectivity. It can be said about all of us..... nobody is perfect personality, because all of us grew in imperfect circumstances. So in adulthood we try to unlearn bad habits that we somehow learned in childhood, unknowingly, as Dr. Bruce Liipton explains, all our behaior as adults comes from the age 0 to 7, when the subconscious mind of the child was created and therefore was programable in some way. so if we learned wrong stuff at such young age, it continues to age 35, without even realizing it, because 99 percent of habits are subconscious. When we fuinally realize these habits in adulthood, we want to change ita nd live differently in more loving way and more naturally, happily. Most kids learn wrong info because they are not self-aware or their brain is not capable yet to translate the info in right way or in objective ways. So throwing all our frustration and judgment on one person wouldnt be fair, because nobody of us grew up so perfectly with perfect habits, and science says these habits continue to adulthood, subconsciously, without our awareness of having them. Its 80 percent of planet like that and you have to watch dr. Bruce Lipton or Dr. Joe Dispenza to really understand the meaning of subconscious programs, habits, perception and the energy.

Real monks has given up worldly possesions all together and does not ask money from their guidance. This guy is a business man who loves attention and living luxorious life and nothing wrong with that if he would not pretend to be a monk and use spirituality to make him millionair...

In fact all the so called monks in the public domain. Real monks should be sought out by people, not the other way round. Capitalism and monkhood do not go together, and if they do, it is just capitalism- greed for money, fame and power. Greed.

[@Liliarthan]

Not sure if someone with an Indian background can be accused of cultural appropriation but this certainly feels like a textbook candidate. Reminds me of those other ‘gurus’ and ‘spiritual leaders’ who spend more time doing marketing and making money than actually practicing their religion or meditating etc. Also reminds me of those fake Shaolin monks, but at least those shaves their head and wear the robes - if you’re gonna fake you might as well go the whole hog right? 😆

[@KatenJace]

@@Liliarthanit’s completely appropriated. Agree. He didn’t grow up in a third world country. He wasn’t born into this religion/philosophy organically-he put it on like a costume. It’s like that nxim cult buying the approval of the Dali lama. A true Buddhist monk wouldn’t be seeking any platform at all. The entire basis of the thinking is humble, and based on the abandonment of ego and earthly gains. Materialism and marketing are the opposite of this. Edit to add that by virtue of being a person of color he just wasn’t questioned as quickly as he maybe should have been. He’s definitely a snake oil salesman.

He is going to be just fine. Did you read peoples comments on ig? Majority of them are fine that he lied, quote unquote “we dont care if he lied, his teachings have helped us in tough time”. What pisses me off is when did people stop exercising accountability??? People need to be called out for their bullshit, that’s how society functions in a healthy way, and builds character. He has not bothered to speak about this, and its been a week now. He does not care, and he won’t. It’s about time people stop idolising people and not put them on a pedestal. If he did forge his identity, like a person of integrity (which he claims to be) he should step forward and admit it. And if all this is a lie then he needs to clarify that too.

Thank you so much for posting this - I hadn't seen the article. For years I felt and off vibe from Jay and it took me a long while to conclude covert narcissism - I actually have the same experience with Steven Bartlett. I went to his Diary of a CEO Live show in London and it was a complete ego-fest, and by the end of the show I felt sick to my stomach while people were up in their seats clapping and calling out. Blew my mind. They both have dead eyes with a fake sincerity that fools a lot of people - it actually helped me to realise people are more vulnerable than they realise, and somehow turn to goo in front of both of them, because they are highly skilled at working out what a person's buttons are and how to push them for 'content' ie a multitude of narcissistic supply and of course millions of dollars/pounds. Really glad to see other people see this too, has felt quite isolating not seeing other people call this out. Thank you again!

Thanks for this comment. I never liked Jay Shetty for a reason that I didn't even take too much time thinking about.

Never read his books or listened to his podcast... Steven Barlett on the other hand: I was REALLY into his podcast and him as a public personality but then, I started to question if he was interjecting "vulnerability" as a marketing ploy. I dont know how to explain it any better. But I stopped listening to his podcast since... Interesting to hear your gut feeling on him after going to one of his events.

Therapists, counsellors ... books, videos on the subject may help someone understand themselves & others better by exploring the concept of attachment & their attachment styles. Many people mistake attachment for love. Also, Neuroscience isn't a therapeutic practice. It is a branch of psychology that is research-based information & knowledge. Some therapeutic practices, techniques / methods have been developed based upon neuroscience theories. A lot of online KZbinrs claim their approach is based upon neuroscience. Not all claims are true. Some are false claims. That said, it doesn't mean that their approach and / advice is not helpful & even therapeutic.

[@scottkernaghan2600]

Tolle not so much. His book The Power of Now is absurd. There are people who follow him and end up losing their sense of history and purpose. Be suspicious of anyone who calls Oprah a friend.

[@umaimasiddiqui7376]

Rupert spira as well ❤

[@amalali504]

His well of wisdom and integrity seems contaminated so people really ought to proceed with caution should they wish to drink from it. Sadly we're can be suckers for a well packaged story and too trusting especially in that space of wellness, positivity, spiritual generosity which is exploited by the opportunist and ironically cynical.

A FAKE BIG time; fake it until you make it has to be this guy's beej mantra, LOL. I reckon, he tried to copy Vishen Lakhiani, CEO and Founder of MindValley. So shameful!! (Sorry, had to edit as Vishen's company is a very authentic, legitimate enterprise).

[@SS-gh6jy]

Both him and his wife talks about simplicity spirituality healing and immaterialism. They’ve got to be involved in this together since they understand each other so much. I had never enjoyed his videos or his ideas what he preached but I didn’t know that he was speaking with celebs for promotion or whatev reason.

[@sushie9]

He just re-packaged Robin Sharma's first and only successful book and expanded it to build his social media presence and everything there after. And I find it funny that Robin himself keeps repackaging his first book into 25other books and still is milking it.

[@greaterbayareahero1401]

WTF he was from Watford! Monk my a*s. He was a Hare Krishna, lol!

[@dammitjim9131]

8:38 I fail to see the why you felt the need to add "I have to add there are multiple brands and schemes claiming to train people and help them to set up their own mindfulness business by charging them exorbitant fees, so Jay isn't the first one." This point in no way exonerates Jay Shetty. So what if others are doing it, too?

[@thecoconutculture]

@niminexus thank you and yes! More so to add that a lot of similar forms of quackery exists.

[@dammitjim9131]

@niminexus Again, so what? I've never heard anyone ever say "hitler was a monster, but there were others who were monsters, too." It's completely unnecessary to point out that other also run a MLM scheme. Also, it's a truism. Of course we all know other people do it, too. It just sound like she is saying, "well, how bad can he be, others do it, too."

[@thecoconutculture]

@dammitjim9131 Huge difference between perceived subtext that doesn’t meet your expectations in terms of sentence structure and what is actually said. Right after that statement I tell my friend’s story pointing out how these businesses prey on the vulnerable. Hence, the sentence is also segueing into pointing out who the real victims are.

[@Lovethyself887]

[@bibimahira]

I always seen him stealing others quotes on ig for yearssssss

[@alleycat1396]

Going to watch this later but I just want to say that I only discovered him recently. I watched an interview with Gabor Mate and throughly enjoyed it. When Jay says his channel is going to essentially give you knowledge for a better way to live, I was intrigued and sought out more interviews. Kardashians being platformed, who have knowingly made their business on scam after scam after scam was a huge red flag for me. Then when I listened to other doctors and mental wellness 'professionals' all touting unrealistic ideals and'clean' mindsets, I steered clear. If anyone knows of ethical podcasters that vet people before platforming them, please let me know.

[@thecoconutculture]

We do live in a culture of click-baiting and people using their professional titles to exploit masses to make a quick buck. It’s just a sad state of affairs and it is very hard to come by ethical podcasters. We are a small channel that tries to give unbiased views with nuance to the best of our ability. Do considering subscribing if you like nuanced dialogue on modern topics and trends. :)

[@Myglowtips]

Are you kidding me? Jay is above us all, hovering ethereally over every other human being because he was (don't you dare forget) a monk for two/three years. He started out authentic but began riding the wave of his alleged monk life as if it was something, he had lived for years and started cashing in the big bucks. When I saw him with the Smiths, I knew that he is well on his way to be a fraud. Why? Because birds of a feather, flock together. I absolutely hate that he leaves his wife alone for months on end to travel around the world; she's out there dancing on Instagram and selling tea increasingly (and, when they are together, they behave like brother and sister because they've lost the connection). She's very much becoming another online lonely woman. I now see Jay as a fraud who has sold his soul for fame. Also, he is beautiful which has helped him immensely.

[@umaimasiddiqui7376]

Really?? Like healthy married couples are Not like that?? I thought to give each other space and have own life so when you guys together you've stories to tell each other? Im not married neither had any relationshipz so i thought a Healthy Relationship are like that, used to admire jay and radhi relationship for this reason And I thought couples should not be much attached so they become co dependant on eachother. So i thought its healthy. Kindly let me know if im wrong or what

[@PKorp-PriyankaKalyan]

idk but I never felt him as an authentic guy, nor his relationship with his wife. I always felt them "acting" as a loving couple but it is distorted. It's sad people are getting trapped by such people, it is a sin to capitalise people's misery.

[@rkug777]

I heard him a few times but didn’t know anything about his spiritual side or monkhood etc. He talked more to medical professionals in the few episodes I heard. What’s sad is bad apples like him spoil everyone’s name… yes there are some that want name, fame, money while talking austerity and simplicity for others. Their egos are big too. But there are some genuine people trying to offer simple spiritual practices to help ordinary folks and even doing charity with the money collected. Now they get a bad wrap too.

[@bhavnaganiga6272]

@@althurdjerah weirdly magnetic & different eye color. Nothing that looks like a normal soft colours but instead looks like scary cat eyes or has multiple colours. My uncle has those eyes.

[@palaksardana6151]

Without sounding judgemental, you hv put out the facts in a rational manner. Via this comment, I would like to appeal to all the naive social media influencers who hv gotten into the space of spiritual advice (especially based on Hindu dharma and Hindu philosophical traditions and systems like Vedanta, yoga, ayurveda etc) that these are sacred sciences to be taught strictly in the realm of guru-shishya parampara. They are not meant to be either given our or consumed in the pop culture fashion. These sciences are formulaic in nature and a foremost requisite for teachers is humility and simplicity along with lack of any kind of desire either for material gains, fame or power while for student, eligibility and dedication towards the knowledge. In absence of these, one is showing utter disrespect for these knowledge systems and accrues negative karma. I feel sad for the uninformed who are picking up nuggets of information from here and there and dispensing it randomly to anyone hitting their channel just out of sheer greed for publicity, revenue or popularity. They need to understand that this knowledge is sacred and extremely potent and can destroy anyone not following its basic tenets. Iam not surprised by what has come upon Jay Shetty for monetising and commercialising his fake monkhood. You don’t go around playing with fire thinking u won’t be burnt. Even naïveté cannot save one from it. Hope good sense prevails amongst the KZbinrs and also the guests who come into the social media space in order to become richer, popular and famous (the very factors that true spiritual knowledge liberated you from).

[@kadhia0605]

I am glad tht i dint enroll to one of his program which costed a bomb and something was really stopping me to enroll.....my instincts is right

[@gypsyroadstudioheathertena5649]

Jay Shetty spreads consciousness and gives away tons of free positive content. People always have to tear people down when people rise and become successful. We should be happy for him and thankful for the knowledge he shares

[@Heartpersons1]

What’s your excuse for his certification school lying about its accreditation and affiliations only to charge $7500?

[@althurdjerah]

I incourage you to publish his book under your name without any reference to him and watch how does that work out!

[@Dpoweroflittledrops]

I had always admired how he understood and used social media to his advantage but was certain he was a failed monk! How do you rise to a monk in 3yrs to love wealth and materialism? This doesn't add up.

[@by_sha]

A few years back I was living in shanghai and met a group of brits by chance. They were a mixture of public school lads and ‘old money’ playboys running all kinds of businesses in UK/China. One of them seemed particularly business savvy and was apparently Jay’s cousin. They were a flock of narcissists. Was never too fond of any one of the group and glad have no personal connection with them any longer 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@thecoconutculture]

Thank you so much!

[@AlwaysAnnaiah]

Drs follow protocol and policies and they are not always right and are constantly exploring on humans. Life is for living and exploring. Monkhood is his take as experience. He isnt affected because everyone has there own views and takes and he has the focus drive and ambition to fully immerse himself into his life. Good for him and his wife. Everyone assesses looks at knowledge and data and everyone experiences differently. He isbdoing what he is doing. We can be wealthy and abundant and propsperous and spiritual all at once. There is no side. Its the power within.

[@thecoconutculture]

All this wouldn’t be an issue if he just said who he was and built his brand as himself. So many people have done it by openly saying who they are and their educational qualifications HONESTLY. That’s the point. You DO NOT start a school and lie about its affiliations and links and accreditations, especially not to students paying 7500 dollars just as a sign up fee. Lying is just a selfish act of cowardice. Funny how his fans and supporters completely ignore this or not address his Certification School being built on lies literally scamming vulnerable and hopeful people.

[@b3blueblue]

@@thecoconutcultureyes, I agree on your point on this video. His is no different from other self-made gurus in this internet-age and has become widely successful too. But what drives the point is the part you mentioned Shetty has been misrepresenting other institutions as affiliated with his enterprise, then the ex-GF pointed out his other misdeeds. Im pretty sure they are just two leaves of Shetty’s onion to be peeled from his carefully crafted persona. Perhaps more to come? I hope you guys should update this video in a few months.

[@ArohaStill]

But he was never a monk lol

[@bottlesofchris]

I just became aware of this. I was never a devoted fan but as a spiritual person who loves to learn I’d check what he had to say from time to time. He never said anything that stuck or was revolutionary to me. I even began to read his book, Think Like a Monk and abandoned it cause it wasn’t very good and substanceless. He just a creative businessman with pretty privilege

[@DiniandFam]

Why are people hating on him? Coz he is successful? I have listened to his podcast and it only inspires people. I think when people have nothing else to do they decide to how to break down someones life and make them look like a villain.

Exactly! They're just jealous

Hearing that he has connections to so called Hare Krishna movement didn't really surprised me. Say no more. ISKCON hasn't grown so much out of 'holiness' of Prabhupada.

I always knew there was something inauthentic about him and his wife. Sri Akarshana is another Monk/ influencer I will never trust. If you’re collecting millions, giving back to none and turning to celebrities to share spiritual insights with your audience, something is deeply wrong.

[@chillie000]

The thing that most gives me the ick is the over-the-top sycophancy shown to celebrity interviewees such as Jada and Khloe Kardashian. Toward the end of both those interviews, the rapport takes a bit of a dive cause you can plainly see they don’t trust the ridiculous fawning. Khloe openly expresses cynicism “oh you are in awe Jay?”, when he claimed to be in ‘awe’ over some attribute of hers.

[@Birchlane-j4h]

I listened to an interview with Jay several years ago. He told a story that Wayne Dyer used to tell and called it his own. I haven't listened to him since. It was shamelessly blatant.
