Deze Britse vlogger en motiverende spreker met roots in India is langzaam bekender en beroemder geworden dankzij zijn zeer inspirerende vlogs over bijvoorbeeld eenzaamheid of relaties.

De wijsheid van een monnik

Jay Shetty’s verhaal is een interessante, hij woonde namelijk een speech bij van een monnik die de Business School waar Shetty op zat bezocht. De speech was zo aangrijpend dat Shetty hem achterna reisde in Engeland, waarna Shetty zelf tot monnik werd opgeleid.
