8 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Turned 30

In this episode of the On Purpose podcast, Jay Shetty shares eight life lessons he wishes he had known before turning 30, drawing from psychology and human behavior. These lessons include recognizing that people are less focused on you than you think, busyness is not equivalent to productivity, friendships evolve naturally over time, discipline is more effective than motivation, fears are often rooted in past memories, the importance of community over willpower for personal change, burnout stems from meaninglessness rather than overwork, and the brain's tendency to misjudge future happiness. Shetty encourages listeners to reframe their perspectives, prioritize meaningful connections and purpose, and test reality over relying on imagination.
