Vishen Lakhiani (born 14 January 1976) is a Malaysian entrepreneur, [1] [2] author, and motivational speaker, of Indian descent. [3] He is the founder and CEO of Mindvalley and the author of two books: The Code of the Extraordinary Mind and The Buddha and the Badass. [4] Career [ edit ] You could say the book is transcendent. Lakhiani’s work provides a blueprint for any individual to find his or her potential without having to run to a cave in Tibet. He is no mere guru of anecdotal experience dressed in New Age lingo. His writing is brutally honest, humble, and intimate. At the same time, the book’s content is laser-like in its practicality—drawing partially from Lakhiani having 17 jobs in 17 years, from washing dishes to founding (and losing) companies.” —Miguel Conner, qSample I expected way more from Vishen...it's um, probably one of the worst self development books I've ever read. Vishen's biography (oh the luxury, the travels!) + self development nuggets (which you can find in ANY other book) + self advertising (every.single.chapter has a link) = this book. Especially the self advertising was the thing which I grew tired off.

The world reflects your beliefs – so imagine what happens when you take on the beliefs of extraordinary minds.” Due to MY OCD, I have to complete them and thus I get tons of things done and I remain perpetually engaged. If you have insight into the principles of computer engineering, you are aware of “dynamic allocation” where a program allocates memory on demand to perform certain tasks. When it it done, it releases the memory.The author suggests we can (similarly) allocate models of reality we desire and release them when they have outlived their purpose or are expired. He goes in depth to describe tools he uses that have helped him reprogram his mind and continually upgrade his models of reality, leading up to the abundant lifestyle he enjoys today. AND YOU CAN DO IT TOO! Read books written by practioners, books written by engineers, books written by people who do research to get profits out of their research.

But the book doesn’t leave the reader there. It guides the reader to rethink what’s possible and to create a vision for the future which is tailored around the reader’s happiness and free from the “shoulds”. To focus on the most important end goals, without getting caught up in means goals. The last section is the most exciting, but it is a very personal journey in getting there. It provides a blueprint for becoming extraordinary, to move from escaping the current culturescape to finding your calling, to shift things and to create new models and systems for living which will also move others and cause the culturescape to evolve.

He’s got some great tips and thoughts about opening ones mind and creating a world that’s more open and functional than the one we are living in now. A large part of the book is about Lakhiani’s personal journey as well as anecdotes of his interactions with successful people, and his learning experiences. We’ll now zoom in on the 4 levels of transformation, and the 10 associated laws, before explaining briefly how to put it all together. Our culturescape is the cumulative rules, beliefs and norms that shape how we feel we should live. This section is about learning to recognize and question these rules. Law 1: Transcend the CulturescapeI'm not going to get into any more specifics because I just don't have it in me. I'd much rather move on to the next book in my ever-growing pile and read something to hopefully take the place of the drivel this book inserted in my brain over the last week.

It is a little annoying when a book starts off by saying "This isn't going to be one of those type of books" and then ends up being exactly that type of book. In late 2020, Mindvalley added a course on accessing altered states of mind and intuition called the Silva Method hosted by Lakhiani. [8] Dealmates [ edit ] The power to choose what we want to believe and what we want to disbelieve is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.” Vishen Lakhiani made Watkin's List of 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People in 2021 and 2022. In 2022 he was #52 on the list. [17] Secondly a lot of the book is focused around name dropping and using himself in most of the examples of success.I’m a big fan of people who move humanity forward in their own way. And the author has played his part with this book, that has far exceeded my expectations with its golden wisdom, rich list of references, and an invaluable online experience. Not to mention the hope for a new and exciting life ahead (something we can’t buy with Mastercard, right?). The author also cheats the readers with this title to begin with - The Code of Extraordinary mind - I was expecting this book to be in the lines of the TALENT CODE etc... i.e. trying to decipher how amazing people build their minds. So yet again, I think I should have spent some time researching the author and his profession before spending tons of time wasted on reading this book. For me, as I’ve read it so far, this book has brought some realization and awareness to how my life has taken shape and what needs to be done to go forward and thrive in my dire situation.
