Code of the Extraordinary Mind

by Vishen Lakhiani

Everything you know about the world today follows an invisible set of rules -- how we work, love, parent, spend our money, and define success. But what if you could remove these outdated ideas and start anew? What would your life look like if you could forget the rules of the past and redefine what happiness, purpose, and success mean for you? The Code of the Extraordinary Mind is a blueprint of laws to break us free from the shackles of an ordinary life. Blending computational thinking, integral theory, modern spirituality, evolutionary biology, and wicked humor, Vishen Lakhiani provides a framework for re-coding yourself with new, empowering beliefs and behaviors to help you live an extraordinary life -- a life of more happiness and achievement than you ever thought was possible. Through this book, you will learn ten laws that empower you with powerful exercises and methods designed to retrain your mind; unique models like consciousness engineering to help you grow at speeds like never before; the skills to bend reality and live in blissipline; and the ability and desire to make a dent in the universe and discover your quest. Throughout, you will find insights drawn from questions that Lakhiani has posed to personalities such as Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Peter Diamandis, Arianna Huffington, Ken Wilber, Michael Beckwith, and other famous thinkers, leaders, and spiritual teachers of today. Once you learn the code, you will question your limits and realize that there are none.
