- About The Speaker:
Vishen Lakhiani is the co-founder of Mindvalley - a ground-breaking company comprised of innovators, artists, technologist and dreamers from over 30 countries around the world.
Founded in 2003, Vishen's vision for Mindvalley was to build a company whose mission was to bring enlightenment and personal growth to the world in a scalable way using a hybrid of marketing and technology.
Vishen works with authors, thinkers, authors and leaders who have pioneered new ways of doing traditional things: parenting, entrepreneurship, spiritual growth, self-development and more. Mindvalley's team of programmers and marketers then work to build the systems to take these ideas mainstream. His goal was to bring his own passion of personal growth to the masses in hopes of creating a better world.
The result is a new kind of publishing company; one that merges software, mixed media, video, mobile apps and social networks to put authors in the personal development movement in front of the internet generation while bypassing traditional media like printed books.

He said by 2020, he will create world's best workplace. And i'm watching this video after 8years. He actually achieved his goal. Love n respect vishen♥️💯
Yes
ugh no this guy sucks and is closer to cult leader than CEO.
I am so amazed by the concept and the vision.. I believe very few special people will understand and appreciate the value, but whoever can connect to this would really benefit immensely..
Very impressive work by Vishen Lakhiani and his happy team.
Watching this in 2020 and thinking with everything I've seen I think he made it so, even during the pandemic.
Great talk. Better still, one of the greatest TEDex talks I have listened to.
I agree, if you read "Quiet" by Susan Cain you will see that work places like the one he describes are the worst case scenario for introverts, who are some of the most creative people on the planet! This guy is missing out on quite a lot of talent because he only sees the extroverts' side!!!
Fantastic!!!!! What else can I say?! God bless you, Vishen, and your team, and grant that you prosper more and more, forever... So be it!!!
Vishen does not believe in the Almighty God
2020 is here and i wonder where Mindvalley will be in 2030.
I would really love to have the opportunity to work there.
It is a dream come .
Man I love Vishen Lakhiani and Mindvalley would be the best place to work for ever!
Proud of you Vishen and your team! Best wishes. Hope to meet you someday.
You are right tum sahi thi so Thanks u?
Simply awesome. We need more folks like Vishen. Look forward to meeting with him.
Sounds fantastic.... and looks beautiful....the whole idea is "Hotel California" ..."you can come anytime you want, but you can never leave."... Is that really what you want? No real private life or family investment, since all of your heart and soul will belong to the company. "Blur the lines between work and play"... easy for Rick Branson to say, but some of us would like to use our resources to build something with non-commercial value. ..."same idea as gamers to keep you addicted and hooked..."
My thoughts exactly. The concept seems ideal and clearly works, but I can't help but sense something a little ominous about it...
I think you missed out a very important component that Vishen Lakhiani mentioned. That each individual have space for Personal Growth and Goals. Does that sound like "No real private life or family investment, since all of your heart and soul will belong to the company" to you? In a matter of fact it does sound like the opposite.
"but some of us would like to use our resources to build something with non-commercial value" Well that is what freedom of Personal Growth and Goals means. That does belong to you alone and not in some company. What they try to do is that you have time for that also... in compared to other workplaces like you can't choose to do anything for yourself 40/45 hours. I do feel understand what you think, but I do also see that you are stuck in a negative thinking, and no its not called realistic thinking.... its just you are not thinking outside your own box, be open minded or get stuck at where you are now for a long time :-)
Seems to me the idea was to spend more for the company than 40 hours a week. But its been a while since I saw the clip. I have blurred work and play for years, and it often makes it more difficult to do either; however it can be done. My basic community is not the company I worked for, nor would I want it to be. I have professional friends who collaborate on projects, but my loyalty and personal investment in family and my friends far outweigh any commitment I have for work.
So inspiring and amazing man, who reached his goals and spread his vision to so many countries... just wow! Congrats Vishen, it'd be an honour to meet you in person!
Paweł Szpak - What was his goal? To stand and talk on stage?
If he wanted to run a company, yes, he has achieved it. But what does he produce? What tangible , measurable goods does he provide?
Such an inspiration! This is the current and future answer to creating highly successful, profitable and happy companies! This relates to ALL industries. As a business owner our mission needs to be to support and encourage our team, how can WE serve them and not the old way of how can my employees best support the company. Thanks for sharing!
this sounds like a great workplace! so sour to see so many bitter comments below, but I do believe why this company work is because there is investment in personal growth so that the enlightened employees put out that energy into the world
I really love your lectures and everyone's from your team mindvallley and hope that one day I'll operate with you'll trust you'll admire it and ill be very thankful to work with you
Thank you so much for sharing.
I will do these too...
Thanks for sharing your success mantra!!!!
Lots of love from kochi ( india)
I own Cain's book. Bought it several months ago; only read the first few chapters. I enjoyed what I read.
As for Lakhiani & Mind Valley, I've become less of a fan. Their marketing campaign morphs into spam after you purchase one of their products. I bought several products & now receive 'notifications' of new product offerings from every author whose product I bought. It's relentless. I've tried several times to unsubscribe, but still can't get off the spam list.
So be warned!
Inspiring and lots of wonderful tips in this! Find people smarter than you, inspire and support them, make it fun so you can get out of the way and work on your Vision!
Kate A Larsen - Yup. Word salad. Yum yum. Tastes better with some reality dressing and a glass of skepticism to wash it down.
Fantastic. Kudos for your positivity..
WOW !!!!!! BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS HIS PRESENTATION ARE THIS WAS TOO AWESOME....too inspiring and motivational.really proud of u Vishen
Brilliant Idea. Great to see this humble boldness growing in the private sector. I'll be creating blue oceans chasing after you with Nyasha & Company in the next several years.
the message is excellent and tempting to work like this place. May be i am pasting message late..
This guy has done so much for us than 80 percent people on planet earth will never do.
One of 26287 amazing videos.
This presentation has me in la-la land. Who or what's really benefitting from this company other than its employees' egos? I guess I'm trying to put my finger on some concrete examples of what this company actually does...
Just trying to keep my feet on the Earth here...
Now he has the world's largest personal growth platform! Insane
LOL this kind of workplace would be a living nightmare for me. It reminds me of that movie Office Space. Jennifer Aniston works at a restaurant and they have to wear "flair" on their uniform, to appear fun and exciting. So she wears the minimum of 14 pieces of flair, but her boss is like, "you need more flair, see your coworker wears 37 pieces of flair." She asks, "okay you said 14 pieces of flair minimum, but you actually want me to wear 37 pieces of flair?" They go back and forth but basically and his response is, "I want YOU to want to wear more flair." No thanks.
F that, you get my time and you get my part of my brain for that time. You don't get anything outside the clock and you certainly don't get an ounce of my soul ever.
This guy is has major charlatan vibes.
Edit: The free audio books for employees part is pretty cool. I'd use it to get books critical of the pseudo spiritual bs that this guy pumps out.
I respect Vishen's passion and vision; on the surface the approach sounds great, but a moment's reflection reveals that this company doesn't recognize the importance of boundaries, a very key principle in developing personal autonomy and self-identity. It also is clearly not a place for introverts or for anyone *mature in years*.
By all means create a fun and happy workplace, but not at the risk of loss of privacy and personal identity. Mind Valley sounds like a Mind Meld Going/Gone Wrong.
Increible!!!! BO
All the best from Lviv, Ukraine
thank u...
! We have a level up in our organisation too. Usually happens once a year to people who have performed very well. We call it a promotion.
The bell is rung once or twice in an employee’s entire lifetime of work with Mindvalley. Which is usually 2 years, according to what I have read. So yes, once a year.
Really need to appreciate for sharing such important things specially the point about gaming !!
Who would want their boss to be their friend?
Beautiful!
This is pretty damn brilliant!
So damn good Vishen!!!
Thanks
Negativland sampled this talk in their track "mounting the puppy." I think it helps point out how disturbing and cult-like the coorperate, start-up, tech bubbles can be.
Great!
what a great young man! a man with a mission, big ideas and handsome too :)
mindvalley seems to be a paradise on the earth...
Thanks
This is amazing! Very inspired!!!!
AMAZING
This is life
Excellent
Malaysia’s brain drain was a problem for Mindvalley opening an office in KL? Am I to understand that the 1% of Malaysia’s finest engineers and doctors and entrepreneurs and scientists (Not talking about the the others who work as petrol bunk attendants and store cashiers) would have joined Mindvalley?
Nice aspirational flex. Splendid.
Do you know why my corner grocery store isn’t becoming a Fortune 500 company? Because of the brain drain.
Very interesting.
Mounting the Puppy
Negativland!
Translating Branson @ 0:22: "Attracting people smarter than you, paying them .0001% what you're making, sitting back and counting your money".
Just thinking about working here gets me pumped! But then I realize I don't know what I could contribute to a company that awesome and I feel sad :c
ur talents make sharp our talents great great reat
Wow.
really? 'we dont want people to go home'.... that to me is the wrong work life ratio so the company is in reality an 18 to 30s holiday ?
I need to work here!
Thanks
now I’m gonna need to know what Cerebro means 👏🏼😁
Can I know what Mindvalley providing us...Basically, I can understand what actually all about but.....I need more.....can anyone could explain it to me...
What exactly do the 25 year olds who work here produce and how much does it cost? Why do only young 25 year old people "work" at Mindvalley and why is the turnover 2 years or less if it is so awesome to work there? If this company is worth $40 million dollars, why are the employees paid so little? The highest paid worker seems to be paid less than $1800 a month for 45 hours of work per week.
+Jon Pgh How would you / do you know the salary numbers? just curious, I don't work or am involved with mind valley. But also, keep in mind that this is Malaysia where 900-1200 per month for an tech engineer is the medium salary.
It sounds like a formula which encourages workaholism, which is seldom productive in the long term, and the worker is simply burned out, disillusioned and probably moves on or is fired.
I feel like this is modern day slavery for our upcoming generation. It sound too good to be true. The normal hours of work should be 40 and you are there 45 hour where 5 hours you spend time reading. What about having a family. Where is the work life balance. It seems like work is your only life.
Negativland sent me here
So what does this company do? What does it sell?
As an introvert this workplace sounds like a nightmare! Highly competitive, fake and insincere. Happiness? Yeah right, they wanna keep you happy because they wanna suck all the life out of you! Yes the offices are pleasant, but all style and so substance; a charade to manipulate egotistical sheep into thinking they work somewhere special. Talk about delusions of grandeur.
May I politely ask if you work there?
tribal or more like a cult.. cant help but think that there is some underlying not-so-happy-after-all feeling lurking there
Absolutely. The cooperate world will never be a replacement for real friends and family.
Seems more competitive than collaborative to me. Definitely not for everyone.
yuk, agree this sounds like a cult. too contrived. but mainly this is just an ad for mind valley.
And this may have been the inspiration for Adam Neumann.....
I feel that Vishen’s vision is too forward for most people. Just how like Picasso for his time. This is all I want in my work place. I only wonder if after 8 years do they still remain the way they are when they started.
Don't mind me, I was just brought here by Negativland.
I think they mean well, but it seems more like a cult to me. The last thing I want to do is replace my real family and a job I like with a "tribe" and a kool-aid culture.

i think were on to something here
Ramon Ramos
Yeah, the Matrix has you...
I'd rather work at abercrombie
I liked it up to the point where the desktop icons, badges, bell ringing and ritual praising started. Really not my need to be happy.
Anyone else here from Negativland
i don't believe what you say..I do not feel your heart. Few good ideas
but overall, why would i work for your company? Unless you share all the
profit equally, you are just creating better conditions for those who
would help you to be rich..I listed to your lessons and none of it speak
to my heart...
Thank you Lana. YT is full of his adverts.
I am not sure what he does, apart from talking about being successful. If we were to measure his success, it lies in talking about being successful.
Much like what someone said about the Kardashian, Famous for being famous.
It feels nice finding someone who finds him mildly annoying at worst and a confidence trickster at best.
I am surprised by how many people find him insightful and sometimes even profound.
Gives one an idea of how mentally weak some people are, to be taken in by someone who keeps banging on about the obvious.
I wonder why people want to think and be all the same.
Some of the most creative people didn’t have fulfilling lives, some of them live very mundane lives.
Our differences are what make us individuals.
And the fact that I absolutely despise these woo peddlers doesn’t help my impression of Vishen, and he has that smug unshaven look which is even more cringey.
who else is watching after reading 'The code of the extraordinary mind'?
So... what's the idea here? trying to get people addicted to work and secretly rip them from their lives??
