Love: A Skill to Master, Not a Treasure to Find
What if everything we've been taught about love is fundamentally wrong? While we chase the thrill of finding "the one," Jay Shetty offers a revolutionary perspective: love isn't something we discover but something we practice daily. Drawing from sixteen years studying ancient Hindu wisdom and coaching countless relationships, Shetty reveals that true love resembles tending a garden rather than plucking a flower for momentary enjoyment. This insight transforms our approach from passive searching to active cultivation. Why does this matter? Because when we view love as a skill rather than luck, we gain agency over our romantic lives. The most fulfilling relationships don't happen by chance-they develop through intentional practice across four distinct stages, each representing a different classroom for mastering love. This perspective shift has sparked a movement of people approaching relationships with greater mindfulness and purpose, creating connections that nurture rather than deplete them.
