You did everything right.
You took every step you were told to take.
Then one day you wake up and this isn’t the life you want.
Dr. K says it’s called a quarter life crisis, and almost no one can see it.
In this episode, Dr. K and Jay Shetty talk about why people in their 20s and 30s feel lost. The old plan for life no longer works, school costs too much, rent is too high and the goals we were given are out of reach.
Dr. K explains what to do when you feel late. He shares the Buddha’s idea of the second arrow, and why it applies to good news too. And he tells the story of a patient who wouldn’t quit smoking, until he asked him one hard question about his daughters.
Learn about the baggage you bring to every date without knowing it and why Dr. K says "be yourself" is the worst advice you can get.
