Today, we're exploring Jay Shetty's insightful book, "8 Rules of Love: How to Find It, Keep It, and Let It Go." The book's core premise reframes love not as a fairytale to be found, but as a practical skill. To teach this skill, Shetty draws on the timeless framework of Vedic wisdom, structuring his guide around the four "ashrams"—ancient stages of life he repurposes as classrooms for preparing for, practicing, protecting, and perfecting love.

Our guide is Jay Shetty, a bestselling author whose unique authority stems from bridging two worlds. He spent three years as a Hindu monk, steeping himself in ancient scriptures like the Vedas, and now applies that wisdom in the real world, coaching individuals and couples on these very principles. Shetty’s approach moves beyond simply hoping for a soulmate. Instead, he provides the tools to intentionally create a love that grows and evolves. The book seeks to answer a powerful question: What if we could learn to love ourselves and others more intentionally, moving from loneliness to true connection?
