Founder & CEO of Mindvalley & two-time NYT best-selling author
Vishen Lakhiani is the founder and CEO of Mindvalley, the world's leading online personal growth education company. Growing up in Malaysia, he found school forgettable and barely graduated from the University of Michigan's Electrical and Computer Engineering program, which drove him to evolve education. Mindvalley is now home to hundreds of world-class teachers and its Quest learning system, with 5x higher completion rates than the average online course. He wrote New York Times bestsellers The Code of the Extraordinary Mind and The Buddha and the Badass, and his community spans 195 countries, with more than 15 million social media followers. Vishen aims to bring Mindvalley to 100 national schooling systems and every Fortune 500 company.
Gratitude is the key to happiness.

You move through six phases: spreading compassion from one loved person outward to the entire world, recalling gratitude in your personal life and work, forgiving someone who hurt you by seeing their perspective, visualizing your ideal day, affirming your health and wellbeing, and receiving a blessing from your higher power. This practice builds emotional awareness, self-compassion, and forgiveness while cultivating a sense of inner peace and resilience for your day ahead.
The Silva Centering Exercise with Alpha Beats
You systematically relax your body from head to toe by focusing awareness on each part and releasing physical tension, then progress through deeper mental states using the Silva three-to-one method. This guided exercise trains you to enter an alpha state rapidly while building self-awareness and mental clarity. Best used when you want to establish a strong foundation in meditation or prepare for deeper visualization work.
The 3 Most Important Questions
You explore three fundamental questions about your life: what experiences do you want, how do you want to grow, and what do you want to contribute to the world. Through a timed 90-second exercise for each question, you clarify your true end goals rather than pursuing means goals society imposes. Use this to gain clarity on what genuinely drives you and to build a life vision aligned with your deepest values.
Kahlil Gibran's Work - Poetic Meditation
Listen as Vishen narrates Kahlil Gibran's reflections on work, exploring how labor becomes meaningful when infused with love and purpose rather than seen as burden or curse. The meditation invites you to reconsider your relationship with work and discover how it connects you to something greater than yourself. Best used in the morning or late afternoon when you need perspective on balancing ambition with fulfillment.
