Dr. K: Feeling Lost in Your 20s or 30s? (THIS Mindset Shift Will Help You Find Direction & Purpose)

Do you ever feel lost?

What usually helps you find your way back?

Today, Jay sits down with @HealthyGamerGG (Dr. K), psychiatrist, meditation teacher, and author of How to Raise a Healthy Gamer, for an eye-opening conversation about why so many young people feel lost and disconnected in today’s world. Together, they uncover the hidden struggles millions face: loneliness, confusion, and the constant pressure of feeling “behind in life,” even when everything looks fine on the outside. Dr. K shares how shifting milestones and rising societal pressures have fueled an epidemic of uncertainty, leaving many to question their worth, direction, and identity.

Together, Jay and Dr. examine how ego, technology, and external expectations shape the way we see ourselves. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and Eastern philosophy, Dr. K explains how the constant search for validation traps us in cycles of comparison and self-criticism. He offers practical tools for breaking free, learning to tell the difference between “thinking about yourself” and truly “paying attention to yourself,” observing emotions without attaching heavy meaning to them, and discovering peace in stillness. This conversation is a powerful reminder that the way out of overwhelm isn’t found in doing or achieving more, but in cultivating clarity and connection within.

They dive into the challenges of masculinity, purpose, relationships, and the many forms of modern addiction, from pornography to overwork. Dr. K emphasizes that true healing begins with embracing discomfort, processing the emotions we’ve long avoided, and choosing our own values rather than living by society’s script.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Overcome a Quarter-Life Crisis

How to Tell The Difference Between Identity and Identification

How to Stop Feeling Behind in Life

How to Pay Attention Instead of Overthinking

How to Quiet the Ego’s Voice

How to Process Painful Emotions Safely

How to Build Healthier Relationships with Boundaries

How to Reduce the Grip of Technology on Your Mind

Growth doesn’t come from racing toward milestones or comparing yourself to others, but from learning to pause, pay attention, and listen to what’s happening within. Every challenge you face can be a doorway to deeper clarity, resilience, and peace.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

The 6 Ways To Stop Yourself From Falling In Love Too Fast

The 6 Ways To Stop Yourself From Falling In Love Too Fast

I am absolutely fascinated by exploring the insights of love and relationships. Understanding the depths of a connection is the key to whether two people are right or wrong for each other. All things that matter to our lives, they take time. There's effort, there's mistakes, there's learning, and there's growing - no shortcuts. Making big decisions based on a small amount of information isn't productive. You think you know their heart, but you just know their mind.

Why Small Talk Should Be Banned & 9 Questions That Go Deeper

What does small talk do to our minds and our experiences? Small talk limits us from deep meaningful relationships, not just with others but with ourselves as well. How often do you go to an event and have the same conversation? You stop learning, you stop listening and leave feeling unsatisfied. The more genuine, authentic, vulnerable & empathetic discussions that we have, the deeper our relationships goes and the higher our quality of happiness.
