Summary

New York Times, USA Today, and number one Wall Street Journal best seller • Forget hustling. This book, from the author of The Code of the Extraordinary Mind, will disrupt your deeply held beliefs about work, success, and, indeed, life.

If you’re the average person in the developed world, you spend 70 percent of your waking hours at work. And if you’re the average person, you’re miserable for most of those hours. This is simply not an acceptable state of affairs for your one shot at life. No matter your station, you possess incredible unique powers. It’s a modern myth that hard work and hustle are the paths to success. Inside you is a soul. And once you unleash it fully into the domain of work, magic happens. Awakening the Buddha and the Badass inside you is a process that will disrupt the way you work altogether. You’ll gain access to tools that bend the very rules of reality.

  • The Buddha is the archetype of the spiritual master. The person who can live in this world but also move with an ease, grace, and flow that comes from inner awareness and alignment.
  • The Badass is the archetype of the changemaker. This is the person who is out there creating change, building, coding, writing, inventing, leading. The badass represents the benevolent disruptor - the person challenging the norms so we can be better as a species.

Once you integrate the skill sets of both archetypes, you will experience life at a different level from most people. You will operate from a space of bliss, ease, inspiration, and abundance. The Buddha and the Badass: The Secret Spiritual Art of Succeeding at Work will show you how. Author of the New York Times best seller The Code of the Extraordinary Mind and founder of Mindvalley, Vishen Lakhiani has turned his own life and company into his research lab. He’s codified everything he’s learned into the how-to steps in this book. The Buddha and the Badass teaches you how to master your work and your life.

A book about how to be yourself and create goodness

Really enjoyed the read. I wish Vishen himself got to read it. A book that is there to make you realise that your belief system is what holds you back in life.

Extraordinary.....

Amazing book. Full of ideas. Vishen Has really worked hard to give his real life experience and experiments. His life journey is full of profound learning and reflection.

The practical suggestions in this book will be a guiding light for more people. The facts reflect the current circumstances we live in and the changes that we need to accept living for today.

This book has helped me identify the true version of myself with a better direction and a sharper focus.

Thank you Vishen

Brilliant Buda and the Badass

This book got me fired.. but in a good way.

This book got me questioning everything I have believed all my life, as far as work goes. I sort after the book because I found myself at a point in my career where I was bored out of my mind and was lacking the typical energy I’d have towards work. Due to thinking that there was something wrong with me, I started seeking help and self-development books, only to realise that I was in the wrong place for my soul’s expansion. Long story short, the journey to disconnect from my current situation at the time resulted in this: I lost my job, got a huge pay from the severance package, found my ikigai during the (first ever) career break, got on track to get the perfect job for me and finally feeling at ease. Thanks Vishen.

Inspiring and Empowering!

Inspiring and Empowering for individual growth as well as for organisations and business environments. Full of resourceful applications and step-by-step follow-ups. You can only go better and up reading or just listening to Vishen's book, and of course by internalizing his insightful teachings and tools. If you get the audiobook like I did, Vikas Adam is expressing a wonderful narration with clarity and passion.
