The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed On Your Own book online

From Publisher’s Weekly

This guidebook promises to "hack" conventional thinking by exposing readers to the faulty logic of "brules" (bullsh*t rules) in what Lakhiani calls the culturescape―the mental world of relative truths and ideas that people "should" believe. Lakhiani, founder of Mindvalley, a learning experience company, uses personal anecdotes and those of his successful, famous friends (including Arianna Huffington, Elon Musk, and Ken Wilber) to illustrate how liberating oneself from brules and creating new models of reality can lead to an extraordinary mind, greater happiness, and purpose. Lakhiani's "transcendent practices" include gratitude, forgiveness, self-love, positive visualization, and the ability to see failure and difficult times as opportunities for growth. On occasion, anecdotes seem far removed from the average reader. Lakhiani made a promise to himself that if he "ever woke up two weeks in a row dreading going to work, [he] should quit and think of another job"―an optimistic code for living, but not one that everyone can live by. Still, the author's three most important questions―"What experiences do you want to have in this lifetime? How do you want to grow? How do you want to contribute?"―can be of benefit to anyone.

“This book will positively affect the life of anyone who takes the time to read it and implement some or all of the activities into their daily life. I would love to see The Code of the Extraordinary Mind be required reading for high school seniors and first year college/university students.

“This book is a game-changer. This is a book that will change many lives because it takes into account everything that affects us as human beings and puts it into a system that anyone can use. It’s based on science and spirituality and the experiences of the most successful amongst us. Highly recommended. Love it.”

“Vishen is unstoppable in his commitment to inspire humankind to a new paradigm. He is starting at the right place…the mind. I have no doubt he too will leave a dent in the Universe.”

~ Tom Cronin, Founder of The Stillness Project

“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 

“Your life does not just happen. You experience life exactly as you have fashioned it. If you are unhappy with where you are, you can deconstruct the parts you don’t like and build them up again. Vishen gives you a step-by-step blueprint for doing just that. Your days will be filled with more joy and less stress. And you will accomplish far more than you ever thought possible. This book is a guide to crafting your perfect life. And it is funny to boot.”

~ Srikumar Rao is a TED speaker and author of Are You Ready to Succeed and Happiness at Work

“The “Code” is a how-to book that shows you how to examine your mindset, offering options and opportunities to alter your beliefs to lead you to a more fulfilling, meaningful and values-based life. It shows you that you are not stuck being who you are, but that a better version is available if you’re willing to open your mind to the possibilities.”

~ Michael F. Kay, Forbes.com
