Vishen Lakhiani joins us for DREAM THINK DO. Vishen is the founder and CEO of Mindvalley - a leading online personal growth education company. He’s also written TWO New York Times best-selling books and we dig into both. One is “The Code of the Extraordinary Mind” which we’ll tap into at the backend of the interview… to get you a powerful and really useful six-step process to help with daily meditation and prayer. We’ll also be digging into his brand new book, “The Buddha and the Badass, - the secret spiritual art of succeeding at work.” During the interview, we’ll talk about what being a Spiritual badass even means… and more importantly… how you can tap into it to improve your work, your relationships, and your life.

Plus, we’ll get you some incredible strategies to help you to do just that. Vishen Lakhiani ’s passion and drive to unite humanity and challenge the status quo, he has built a movement of growth-seekers, spanning across 195 countries, engaging more than 15 million followers on social media, and nearly half-a-million Mindvalley students each year. He describes his childhood schooling experience in Malaysia as “forgettable.” As a young adult, he envisioned going to school in the United States and fulfilled that dream when he attended the University of Michigan but it just didn’t click with the formal concept of education. These experiences, along with finding his passion and purpose, ignited a dream of evolving the way the world does education—and so he created Mindvalley. Vishen’s first book, The Code of the Extraordinary Mind, which challenges you to reject the inherited world’s rules and expectations that hold you back. It was released in 2016 and since then many professional athletes, top entrepreneurs and political leaders point to the book as changing their lives and careers. In June 2020, his second book The Buddha And The Badass became an instant bestseller, debuting at No. 9 on the ‘Advice / How To’ list, and it quickly hit #1 on the Wall Street Journal’s bestseller list. We talk about both books in the interview… including Vishen’s 6 phase meditation process.
