    Jan-Emmanuel De Neve: The Simple Daily Habit Linked to Happiness (Do This ONE Thing Every Day and Significantly Improve Your Life!)
    Apr 15 2026
    We’ve been taught that success at work is what leads to happiness, but in reality, it’s how work actually feels that shapes the rest of our lives. Jay sits down with Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science at the University of Oxford and Director of the Wellbeing Research Centre, and almost immediately, they land on something most of us feel but rarely say out loud: work takes up the majority of our lives, yet very few of us actually feel good while doing it. Jan shares a striking reality - less than a quarter of people report high levels of wellbeing at work. More importantly, how you feel at work doesn’t stay there, it follows you home. It shapes how you speak to your partner, how you show up for your kids, even how you engage with the world around you. This conversation isn’t just about jobs or careers, it’s about the emotional tone of our lives, and ultimately, our society. Together, they explore why so many people, especially younger generations, are struggling right now. While it’s easy to point to social media, Jan challenges that idea and points to something deeper: rising costs, uncertainty about the future, and a growing sense that the path forward isn’t as clear as it once was. There’s a quiet anxiety about whether hard work still pays off. In a world full of answers, the real skill now is asking better questions. It’s a subtle yet powerful shift, from chasing certainty to embracing curiosity. Jay and Jan unpack the relationship between money and happiness, revealing a truth that feels both grounding and surprising: beyond a certain point, more money doesn’t lead to more fulfillment. What we begin to crave instead is connection, meaning, and time, the very things we often sacrifice in the pursuit of success. In this episode you'll learn: How to Improve Your Wellbeing at Work Without Changing Jobs How to Find Meaning in Work That Feels Repetitive How to Build Stronger Connections in a Lonely Workplace How to Balance Ambition and Wellbeing Without Burning Out How to Redefine Success Beyond Money and Status How to Ask Better Questions in an Uncertain Future How to Create a Workplace Culture People Actually Enjoy How to Stay Happy Even as Responsibilities Grow How to Make Work Feel More Human and Less Transactional How to Protect Your Energy While Still Performing at Your Best When you begin to prioritize those things, even in small ways, you’ll notice something powerful: your energy changes, your perspective shifts, and your life starts to feel more aligned.

    Parenting Expert Emily Oster: The #1 Parenting Mistake That Causes Unnecessary Stress (Use THIS Data-Backed Framework to Debunk the Biggest Parenting Myths!)
    Apr 13 2026
    Parenting today feels like navigating endless advice while quietly wondering if you’re doing any of it right. Jay sits down with bestselling author and economist Emily Oster to unpack one of the most overwhelming journeys many people will ever face: becoming a parent. In a world filled with endless advice, social media pressure, and conflicting research, parenting can start to feel like a test you’re constantly failing. Emily offers a refreshing, data-driven perspective that helps parents cut through the noise, separating real evidence from the myths that fuel unnecessary anxiety. From pregnancy and fertility to sleep training and screen time, this conversation reveals what truly matters and what parents can finally let go of. Together, Jay and Emily challenge many of the parenting beliefs we’ve accepted without question. They explore why modern parents feel so overwhelmed by information and expectations, when the data actually shows there are many “right” ways to raise a child. Emily breaks down how correlation is often mistaken for causation in parenting advice and how that misunderstanding quietly drives guilt, fear, and comparison. Whether it’s breastfeeding versus formula, screen time, sleep training, or developmental milestones, Emily encourages parents to move away from perfection and toward confident, thoughtful decision-making. In this episode you'll learn: How to Stop Overthinking Parenting Decisions How to Decide What Parenting Advice to Ignore How to Choose the Sleep Strategy That Works for Your Family How to Raise Kids with a Growth Mindset How to Plan Parenting Decisions Before Problems Arise How to Let Go of the Pressure to Parent Perfectly Parenting can feel overwhelming, especially in a world filled with endless advice, opinions, and expectations. The truth is, raising a child isn’t about getting every small decision perfectly right, it’s about showing up with love, care, and intention, day after day. Emily’s book, Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom Is Wrong--and What You Really Need to Know, offers guidance through pregnancy and motherhood. Grab a copy now.

  • How to Communicate So People Actually Listen

    How to Communicate So People Actually Listen
    Apr 10 2026

    How many times have you said something, and it didn’t come across the way you meant it to?

    Today, Jay unpacks why so many of us feel unheard at work, at home, and even in our closest relationships. He shares a powerful insight: communication isn’t defined by what you say, but by how it’s received. Most of us overestimate how clearly we express ourselves, creating a hidden gap between intention and impact. Jay reframes communication as a shared responsibility, reminding us that real connection isn’t about winning arguments, but about being clear, compassionate, and protecting the relationship while speaking your truth.

    Jay then explores the core principles that help people actually listen, beginning with the ability to regulate your nervous system before you speak. When emotions take over, we react rather than respond, often escalating conflict instead of easing it. He highlights why clarity is more powerful than intensity, and how simple, intentional language fosters trust and cooperation, while emotional overload creates distance.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    How to Communicate So People Actually Listen

    How to Regulate Your Emotions Before Speaking

    How to Speak Without Triggering Defensiveness

    How to Ask Questions That Build Understanding

    How to De-escalate Difficult Conversations

    When you focus on being understood instead of being right, conversations become safer, relationships grow stronger, and conflict loses its power. With intention, patience, and compassion, your words can become a bridge, not a barrier, to the life and relationships you truly want.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty
