NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, AND #1 WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER • 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 bestseller 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. Personal Development Personal Success Inspiring

This book spoke to me in a way that no book has for a long time. Almost everything spoken about (identity, visualisation, the mouth that hard work is necessary for success) are things I discoveeofor myself, in varying degrees, over the course of my personal development journey. The book reaffirmed, validated, my own views by backing with science and effective outcomes outside of myself.

This is a book I’ll be reviewing often.

This spoke to me!

I have really enjoyed this book, great principles and content, i would happily recommend this to anyone after reading and listening to the code of the extraordinary mind i've been blown away by the content from Vishen and what he has created with mindvalley. The only downside I would say is that it would have been even more better if Vishen had narrated the audiobook like he did with his previous book, this is no discredit to Vikas. I guess having always listened to the mindvalley podcast as well i have got so used to hearing the details come from Vishen himself bar this the rest of the principles in the book are priceless. Thanks for continuing to put out great actionable content.

Amazing book, always learning something new
