Vishen Lakhiani’s Biography:
Vishen Lakhiani is the Founder of Mindvalley. He holds a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and stumbled onto meditation when he was 26 as a way to cope with the stress of working for a startup in Silicon Valley. The results he got from bringing personal growth into his workplace were so stunning that he went from a junior hire to Vice-President of the company in just 7 months. At 27, he was running the company’s New York office. 18 months later, he quit to become a meditation teacher after being inspired by Nelson Mandela’s quote: “If you want to change the world, change education.”
Vishen is listed in the Watkins list as one of the top 100 Most Influential Spiritual Teachers of 2022 at #53. His first book, The Code of the Extraordinary Mind, has been translated into 25 languages. In 2017, it hit the coveted #1 spot on Amazon five times, and twice he became the No. 2 author in the world on Amazon. His second book, The Buddha and the Badass, hit #1 on the Wall Street Journal Business Bestsellers list.
