Jay Shetty: the SHADY MONK nobody needs 

My psychopath ex- failed everything in life (as she herself admitting on her coaching page), she took Jay Shetty' shitty weekend training and became a life coach helping people harnessing the power of the BS. She is mentoring and treating young and teens as she failed to acquire and sustain adult clients!

You're so on point about these grifters' fixation with Marie Kondo being about her success at writing a book that actually brings something of value and then getting an an equally successful show where she demonstrates to people that it works,. These fakers are so jealous of her, especially perhaps because she seems not full of herself like them and isn't part of their pay to play circle jerk.

"WILL THE REAL SLIM SHADY PLEASE STAND UP " - JAY SHADY

Been going down a Jay Shetty rabbit hole after recent claims being resurfaced… I really appreciate this review. I have his newest book, 8 Rules of Love and was considering reading this one in your video. Your review and comments are very thought provoking… thanks for sharing 😊

Finally! I felt crazy thinking this because no one was talking about this. Subscribed.

I agree with you about him ,if nothing else, being a "shitty monk". I had the pleasure of interviewing a temple of Tibetan monks for a human geography project and ummmmm...they were nothing like Jay XD Also, my man, do not pretend you are not attached to your mansion...if someone took it away he would be upset so how exactly is he "unattached"

Planet Privilege, that's where he lives.

He’s such a Shetty monk. 😂

Sometimes trolls are just sad angry people. Other times they’re people who can see when people are inauthentic frauds.

i rarely leave comments but i just wanted to say that ur so funny! i appreciate ur analyses on these mediocre self-help books, *especially* ur tangent on the way that a lot of these "gurus" minimize legitimate mental health issues just to give bland, one-size-fits-all advice. new subscriber here :)

Thank you for talking about the mental health part. You can't brush the fear and anxiety away. You got to face them face to face. First step in healing is understanding and acknowledging what you are feeling and why you are feeling.

The background music is EVERYTHING! Hahahah! Content so on point! Once again getting the BS called out! Great work cam!

Jay Shetty has NO training in the realm of mental health - as in real science. I accidentally hit one of his videos - because he was supposed to be interviewing Dr. Gabor Maté. Immediately the "interview" felt off putting - as this Jay guy wouldn't shut up. I lasted maybe 3-4 minutes into the video and moved on, wondering who this annoyance was supposedly conducting the interview. Thank you for calling him out.

I was in the same place he once lived in in London. Yes. It’s true that he spent time there. I even saw his wife once. It’s true he spent time in an ashram. However, it’s also true that he’s definitely capitalizing off of spirituality. He goes very much against what they teach at the ashram. There’s nothing wrong with money and having nice things, but now he took what he learned and marketed it to the masses. Spirituality is free, but now he created “life coach certifications” and is banking. Some think it’s genius. Others think it’s opportunistic .

It really doesn’t help that he looks like a sneaky weasel and it was clear as soon as I saw him and watched one of his videos that what he really cares about is lining his own pockets …

I love your videos. Always very well-done, informative, and hilarious!

I really appreciate all the work you put into this. Thank you!

Camelia, you are incredibly smart and funny. I love your takes. please keep reviewing books

When referring to the girl in the slums of Pune, he mentioned that his own father worked his way out of the slums in Pune. For some reason I do not believe his father came or lived in the slums of Pune. In addition if he ever did live in the slums and happened to make it out a lot of it had to do with his caste. Given that he came from a relatively privileged caste it would have been easier for him to move out of poverty than someone from an untouchable caste for example. Also he mentioned that he doesn't say hi to the Uber driver. This doesn't surprise me, a lot of the Indians who have settled in Britain tend to be quite, arrogant, consented and do not have the same manners and respect that the British population is known for.

Hahaha that opening mantra…LMAOOOO IM DYING 😂😂😂

In high school I shadowed doctors for 2 years for my volunteer hours. I guess that makes me a Doctor. Who needs med school? ---> Jay Shetty "logic"

This was wonderful, thank you. One good thing Shetty has done in his life is leading me to you, so I can enjoy your take on him. cheers!

First video that doesn’t exaggerate neither gossips, more center and reasonable. Good work, we need more channels like yours

i love your videos ! they just get better and better 😊😊

I appreciate your thoughts … AND to criticise them for not being mental health experts then throw the word ‘narcissist’ at Jay is hypocritical. A narcissist is not the same as being self-absorbed or egotistical. A narcissist is a very specific Disorder that has very distinct features. Please stop throwing that word around - it’s incorrect and harmful.

Another great video; thank you for your work! And thank you for the time you invest in doing these- especially in reading these self help gurus books. As a bookworm who has LITTLE time to actually read, I appreciate the time you spend doing these. I just finished watching Keya’s video and I love both your work and perspectives. We are BLESSED to have you both join your awesome forces through Cringe-Fluencers 🙌🏼😆

Hi from Italy! It's a pity you don't upload videos anymore and your Instagram is not available anymore 😞you were fun and instructive. Plus your English is clear and I understand everything. I hope you are well

The intro had me cracking up 🤣

This is all facts Camille! Lol “he was asked to leave in the most polite way,” LMAOOO I AGREE! I’m subscribing! 🫡😂✊🏾

Love your analysis ❤️

The brilliance of the "self-help" or "wellness industry" is that the assertions are vague enough to evade scrutiny from others in the same industry. This is distinct from religions, where religious figures constantly call out "false prophets", the only metric for gauging someone's "wisdom" in this industry is that they appeal to enough people. If that's achieved, their success creates a veneer of authenticity. Their self-proclaimed wisdom is, in a sense, baptized in money.

I agree with you I don’t buy that he is living with a monk mentality as he likes to present. He grew up rich and privileged and whatever his monk experience whether real or not reminds me of the girl boss lady cosplaying as a poor person bc she was bored. And Jay realized he could create a niche in the self help industry and has capitalized on the monk image despite living an extravagant lifestyle. Also can confirm that my life is not the same as fucking Jeff bezos. When u make less than 100k annually, 1 million dollars would change ur entire life. These rich “gurus” are so out of touch. Thank you for again mentioning these people have no qualifications in mental health. It’s so frustrating that they make these generalizations and give people unqualified potentially dangerous advice.

Hahahah i LOVE LOVE LOVE the inserts you add to this video!! 👏🏼😆 the “OooOommmm pleasesupportmeonPatreonifyoucanaffordit….” - the “how can I forget. Rachel wakes up at FOUR am…” Lmaoooo you are awesomely hilarious!!! 👏🏼😆

Marie kondo is adorable and even though she says that she no longer keeps up with her beautiful organisation skills since she had children, her book is definitely valuable and it has helped me a great deal.

Reading is fundamental. But I didn’t wanna read this so thank you for reading this Shetty book and putting this comprehensive video together 😂😅

The intro omg 💀

Okay BUT I was actually holding my breath while listening and working when you read that part of the book. Fuck I’m stressed.

I met someone who became a ‘mindful coach’ after going to see Tony Robbins concert. If that wasn’t funny enough, their website was shut down due to plagiarism. (Jay Shetty style) What planet do these people come from! ? Planet Narc! 😂😂😂

Glad you are doing this video. I need your take on this "influencer". Great opening too!

The Varna he is explaining there is the worst form of discrimination. These people under the pretense of spirituality perpetuate these historical form of discrimination. If wanna know more about it read on Caste System in South Asia speacifically India

Monk who lives in 8.5 mil mansion 😂😂😂

Upon first viewing his content on RU-vid, I had initial doubts regarding his authenticity. It is important to be cautious of potential scams related to spirituality.

When he wrote about the girl with no hands, sounded more like he’s a slanderous instead of someone who really showing empathy

I like what you're sharing here. All valid perspectives. The only gripe I have is with the idea that mental health professionals can't also have a god complex, get things wrong or can't also screw up their patients/clients despite years of training. All of the isms (sexism, racism, ageism, etc.) exist among mental health professionals as they do with all other sectors of society.

I live in London, yes he has a very ‘middle class’ accent, he’s from Barnet, that’s quite an affluent area

I am a Hare Krishna follower and have read the Bhagavad Gita, which I must say has transformed my life. One of the way this organisation goes about attracting people is by way of Vegetarian feast and Music - this two things can literally remove stress and depression. You got to read Steve Jobs story many years ago that he use to travel miles just to eat the food at Hare Krishna. I feel saddened that all this negative issues with Jay Bullshetty is attracting negative media coverage to iskcon. That is not fair! In an organisation with millions of followers you will always find a minority who are crooked and dishonest. From whatever little i know of jay Bulshetty and from many people who knew him, he DID not spend 3 years to become a monk in India. In 3 weeks you simply cannot get realisation. I am glad that you guys have exposed him, but please do not create unnecessary bad publicity about ISKCON, it is a good organisation

I came for the informations, i stayed for the sarcasm.

This aged so well :)

I called it immediately. Such a relief to know others now see through the act. At last the transparent creep has been called out. He is not enlightened but is inauthentic. My advice is spit out the pill.

Yaaas guru Camelia!

Carmelia, I'm just seeing this video you did on Jay Shetty's book 'Think like a Monk'- you're right though; some of the stories he writes in the chapters (and I'm guessing they're meant to be analogies) don't seem to really 'fit' the context of what is being explained, and others just seemed incomplete to me as well. Like you'd be expecting the 'punchline' of the story to be delivered clearly to 'get' the message, but it stops short of that! You'd be asking 'and?'... Some others also seemed quite detached from the import of the theme of the chapter or its heading🤔 Anyway, a good review all the same!

All of the parts you read sound so general - like the things many would say and nothing sounded specific to him in detail.

Haha you should put out a self help guru meditation sound track. You have a nice voice for it 😂

Great video and very enjoyable. And I’m pleased to learn that my instincts are on point because without ever hearing this liar (not monk) speak, I knew he wasn’t somebody I ever wanted to listen to, even though I have friends who are very enamoured with him 😢 hopefully not anymore now that he’s been outed. I only hope that the rest of the world starts waking up to these fake self help gurus and stop giving them their hard earned money that ensures that they don’t ever have to work.

His monk stories sounds a lot like Jack Cornfield’s

Used to be a monk = failed monk , simple as that, its just a guy on his narcissistic power trip, but he is successful in spamming people though.

Monks (sadhu) do marry. Study hindu spirituality and you will understand. The institution of marriage is very different in spirituality.

He's as fake and materialistic as they get. "Monk" my ar**e 🤣

Saw this review after the recent expose of Jay Shetty. I think you are way soft on Jay Shetty, especially him drawing a parallel between his father's hard work and the girl without hands eating from garbage in India. That's just one step removed from blaming HER for her circumstances. He seems to be saying that his father worked himself and his son out of poverty, and correspondingly somehow the girl's parents didn't. He has no clue what happened to her or her family. It is completely inappropriate to speculate on someone who is suffering so much who you just saw for a few seconds, and even that to feel better about and justify your own privilege. The rest of the book is the same plethora of wisdom quotes culled from a variety of different sources that have been circulating on Facebook for over a decade. No wonder Jay got caught plagiarizing them.

Best psychologist awesome speaker my favourite Jay genius l love all his programs very much.

I think they've actually debunked that $75K a year maximum happiness study more recently. Your happiness doesn't seem to actually max out and keeps going up as money goes up turns out!

Rules for being a guru: 1. Be good looking 2. Grow a beard

Jesus christ the only thing I can think about is does this guy seriously have fans/supporters??? 🙄🙄 His narcissism is SOOOO obvious and he puts it on display almost proudly. Also, maybe I’m being overdramatic here or whatever, but it’s just greaatt that the way he’s introducing the west to buddishm is to make up violent stories regarding Buddhist monks. Idk, I’m not trying to come off as some white savior here lol, just saying, it’s interesting that he’s told multiple stories about them being violent and evil when they’re not, and most people in America/UK don’t know much about Buddhism. If I’m wrong here at all, anyone please correct me.

And a tesla OMMMM 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow this video was a year ahead! The truth always comes out.

Ur intro was really funny-om-😂😂get some of his patreons-om-🙌 Hari-hari money money-om🤲 💰

There is something very untrustworthy about his eyes. Almost creepy tbh. I do not buy it! Glad I’m not the only one. Whenever celebrities are folling a trend or a person or thing, that’s a major red flag for me. All hype!

Well I just found my new mantra

But he hasn’t shared anything he learned about Iskcon or Hare Krishna that I’ve seen! He’s only copied and pasted other people’s work and the people who supported him were his friends at Watford temple.., he’s now just chasing money and lost his faith.. both him and his wife no longer wear tulsi mala.. both fake!

His attachment and desire for fame and wealth certainly owns him. Also his attachment to his look, he thinks he is gorgeous. If he would suddenly end up to the streets, would he still be oh so happy and content? Would he still want to "heal the world" and " help" others if people would not pay for him thousands $ for those courses and "teachings" which are nothing unique anyhow. I doubt. That seperates him from real monks and spiritually humple and wakenened people.

True

14:15 the girl in the trash bin, yup, it does sound like judgement on her parents / her. wow, does not say hi to drivers in the part Kindness of strangers

For Joe Rogan sauna is charcater building.

I actually really liked Jay Shetty because of his podcast and guests but I didn’t know the book was this bad 😭

He's a master at yapanese sucking up everyones quotes and plaigiarising them when they hashtag his name

As soon as he started aligning with the WEF i knew i was feeling something very off with him.

They will divorce in about a year.... All influencers do one year after telling everyone about their happy marriage. Why?

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 using 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 hanging out with the Smiths, I knew that he is well on his way to becoming 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; increasingly, she's out there dancing on Instagram and selling tea (when they are together, they behave like brother and sister because they've lost the connection due to his consistent absence. The distance between he and her is palpable). She's very much becoming another lonely woman online. I now see Jay as a fraud who has sold his soul for fame and who has fallen in love with himself. That pretty face of his has definitely helped him rake in the views and he knows how to play the game.

Oh no, Accenture. I worked for them for three months and it didn't turn out well :P

😂😂😂😂 brilliant introduction

They look like twins, it’s creepy. Are they both wearing coloured contact lenses or are they a scary breed of new human? Yuuuuuucky, but you were very sweet so you balanced out the horror. X

it keeps me dafe from mean people

You were right 😂

Im fascinated with all the jay shetty is a fraud videos

Well this video aged well ❤😂

31:10 Being from India, I can say that, monk hood is not a career, people want to do this for the purification of their souls and to understand who they really are at their core, which is generally difficult to realize by living a normal life in the society. So people who wish for such realization to that extent, choose to become monks. The words he said about monks are true but not applicable to every monk you meet. Such monks are very rare and difficult to find. But they do exist. It's like every one studies but only few become top most. And moreover it is not compulsory to do that. People just choose different ways. You can Google about Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekanada, Veera Brahmendra Swamy ( who made predictions about future), Lord Buddha, Swami Mahavatar Babaji ( whom people believe he is still alive in Himalayas) etc., and so many.

Nobody needs? That’s hurtful. What am I then? I needed his words. That’s completely disregarding how he helped me. Psychology is too complicated to make claims like that. It’s egoic to give a fuck about who said the message. It’s not about the , it’s about people who need help….

Bhagavad Gita is pronounced "G" not "J" 😉

If you learn something that helps you live a better life from the book, then good for you. If not, maybe try another book. I'm not Christian or Catholic but the Bible has some lessons worth learning. Same is possible with this book. Currently reading it since my wife recommended it.

I can’t believe you actually spend time and read this sh***ty book😅 I live in down under and furious that he’s gonna be here in Apr for his world tour. Only thing we’re missing here..Jay Sh**ty!!!

I’ve never really been much of a fan of his. He was semi interesting when he first popped up but I quickly noticed the contraditions between his so called philosophy and how he presents himself. Then one day I was scrolling and his podcast was on. He was interviewing Kim kardashian. That sealed the deal for me.

I’m not sure what you mean by “all I have to say about the Dalai Lama is this -“ but hopefully the viewers know that that black and white video you showed of him is a parody/satire.

And YEY society rewards these crooks ..! Go figure..!

Okay, Jay isn’t and wasn’t a monk according to what I found. He interned in the corporate offices of ISKON also known as Hare Krishna. I have no problem with the Hare Krishnas they know how to have a good time. He also lived in an Ashram in Mumbai, living the life of a Vedic Monk. From what I can find he was never initiated, thus is isn’t and wasn’t a real monk. Also, he combined a the messages of various South Asian religious/spiritual traditions to create some New Age concoction to sell to the West. 🤮 Also, I know you are trying to be humorous. And this is meant as constructive criticism. However, the way you are making fun of Jay includes things that are apart of real people’s religious and spiritual traditions. I know the traditions came to the West and got distorted but yea ceremonies are a real thing and they are lovely, incense is burned during Hindu pujas, and meditation is apart of all religious traditions that come from South Asia. However, I totally agree with you that these South Asian practices can’t cure mental health issues.

Please, do write your booook!!!!

Damn this is gonna be bad for my brand lol

Wow. Yall really be hateful and toxic.

Sandeep Maheshwari is the same and 'Acharya' Prashant is worse

From psychology course I learned that anxiety is caused when the ego can't handle a situation. This causes stress. To reduce anxiety we use defense mechanisms, so I think thats why they all generalize it to anxiety. This people don't give one solution. They give some ideas (that scientifically proved) or based on spiritual traditions and they often say you have to finger out what works for yourself.

Where can I find documentation of your qualifications and accomplishments please?
