How are you, REALLY? | JENNA KUTCHER

About this video

Shelton interviews Jenna Kutcher, entrepreneur and author, about her new book ‘How Are You Really.’ Kutcher discusses the loneliness epidemic despite digital connection, arguing that true fulfillment comes from being fully known rather than merely connected. She shares her philosophy on blending life roles instead of balancing them, transforming insecurities into superpowers through vulnerability, and maintaining healthy boundaries with social media by never posting in real time.

Key takeaways

Kutcher argues the opposite of loneliness is being truly known, not just connected—citing research she presents showing 80% of people under 18 and 40% of adults over 65 report feeling lonely
She advocates for ‘blending’ rather than balancing life roles, showing up as your whole authentic self instead of compartmentalizing different versions of yourself for different contexts
Kutcher recommends never posting on social media in real time, instead asking whether it’s a good moment to be online and who the post serves before sharing
