Jay Shetty on Purpose, Solitude, and Practicing Love in Relationships

1. A.Jay Shetty breaks purpose into four questions about passion, natural skill, a pain you want to solve, and whether you can be paid for it, and describes his TIME morning routine of thankfulness, intention, meditation, and exercise.
2. B.Drawing on his book 8 Rules of Love, Shetty argues that solitude is the beginning of love because learning to love yourself prepares you to love a partner, and cites a study in which single people were happier than students predicted.
3. C.Shetty says many relationship problems are really stress-management problems, and he recommends communicating ahead of time, explaining why you need something and not just what, and planning the week together.
4. D.He argues that partners act as gurus or mirrors for growth, that people change for themselves rather than for others, and that couples build intimacy through new experiences, shared experiments, learning, and service rather than just watching TV.
5. E.Shetty frames romantic love as a stepping stone toward a wider love for family, community, and the world, and urges people to express love and appreciation now, a point Chatterjee ties to nearly losing his mother.
