Vishen Lakhiani is the founder of Mindvalley. He is a personal growth expert, meditation teacher, entrepreneur, and the author of the new book The Buddha and the Badass: The Secret Spiritual Art of Succeeding at Work.
What you'll learn from this episode:
Why bad timing for entering the workforce wasn't the end of Vishen's journey, but just the beginning.
How a random Internet search put Vishen on the path to Jose Silva's Ultramind System, which he credits with rescuing him from a dark time in his life.
What urged Vishen to go into business for himself and tread the path that led to founding Mindvalley.
How to make an impact on the world at large (even if you're feeling weighed down and powerless against this heavy, heavy year).
Meditation techniques for boosting your brain's alpha waves.
And so much more!
