Most people meditate to escape their problems. Vishen Lakhiani meditates to solve them. In this episode, Vishen Lakhiani and Jay Shetty talk about the difference between the meditation you use every morning and the kind you only pull out when life hands you a real problem. Vishen opens up about why he left a waitress a 50% tip after a breakfast where everything went wrong, the night Jay disappeared from dinner for two hours, and what he did with the sadness of missing his son's 15th birthday. Learn why happiness isn't the goal at all, and how a list of crazy goals Vishen wrote down in 2010 came true within two years, right down to the Emmy.
