EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, featuring Mel Robbins and Jay Shetty, The Truth About Love: How to Find It, Keep It, and Let It Go With Jay Shetty | Mel Robbins Podcast explores Jay Shetty Redefines Love As A Learnable Skill, Not Fate Mel Robbins interviews Jay Shetty about his new book "8 Rules of Love" and together they reframe love as a skill you can learn, practice, and improve, rather than a mysterious feeling you hope to find. Jay shares his practical definition of love—liking someone's personality, respecting their values, and being committed to their goals—and contrasts it with the culture’s obsession with chemistry and fairy-tale romance.
