The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed On Your Own Terms
Summary
What if everything we think we know about how the world works - our ideas of love, education, spirituality, work, happiness, and love - are based on brules (bullsh*t rules) that get passed from generation to generation and are long past their expiration date?
This book teaches you to think like some of the greatest nonconformist minds of our era, to question, challenge, hack, and create new rules for your life so you can define success on your own terms.
The Code of the Extraordinary Mind is a blueprint of laws to break us free from the shackles of ordinary life. It makes a case that everything we know about the world is mostly decided not by rational choice but instead by conditioning and habit. And thus most people live their lives based on limiting rules and outdated beliefs about pretty much everything - love, work, money, parenting, sex, health, and more - that they inherit and pass on from generation to generation.
But what if you could remove these outdated ideas and start anew? What would your life look like if you could forget the rules of the past and redefine what happiness, purpose, and success mean for you?
Not Just a Book but a Movement
Blending computational thinking, integral theory, modern spirituality, evolutionary biology, and humor, personal growth entrepreneur Vishen Lakhiani provides a revolutionary 10-point framework for understanding and enhancing the human self. He developed this framework based on his personal experiences, the five million people he's reached through Mindvalley, and 200 hours of interviews and questions posed to incredible minds, including Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Peter Diamandis, Ken Wilber, Dean Kamen, Arianna Huffington, Michael Beckwith, and other legendary leaders.
The 10 Laws of an Extraordinary Life
In a unique fusion of cutting-edge ideas, personal stories, irreverence, and his brilliant teaching style, Lakhiani reveals the 10 powerful laws that form a step-by-step process that you can apply to life to shed years of struggle and elevate yourself to exceptional new heights. This book challenges conventional ideas of relationships, goal setting, mindfulness, happiness, and meaning. Lakhiani combines computational thinking with personal growth to provide a powerful framework for recoding yourself and replacing old, limiting models that hold you back with new, empowering beliefs and behaviors that set you on the path toward an extraordinary life - a life of more happiness and achievement than you might have dared to dream possible.

Reviews
From just the introduction Code of the Extraordinary Mind is intriguing. Lakhiani shares that he was born "...with a mind that loved learning how to hack life..." (p xvi). His book gives the reader permission to dare to question perception as well as reality. This may be considered a self-help book but I also consider it part memoir. Lakhiani shares a bit of himself through the book. He is not shy about unveiling past personal failures or triumphs. I found his methods of parenting enlightening, and even though I don't have children I want others to apply his techniques!
I just love it..the minute i read it...it is utterly good..not an iota of doubt
The book helps to put things into perceptive in life and provides great guideline how to go through some of the phases with great example . And some of the things about family resonates so succinctly with my own life as well . Will continue to listen to it at least a few times

Great audiobook - there is so much to listen to and the fact it ties in with the app is amazing. Great work looking forward to learning more
I'm generally pretty leery of self-help books, but this was far and away, perhaps one of the best I've ever read. It offers practical, life changing advice that you can slowly introduce into your routine to help you succeed. I finished this in practically one sitting and I can' wait to begin applying the different life hacks into my life to see where it takes me. Just reading this book put me in a better state of being, I can hardly imagine what actually applying this book will do for me. I'm most excited about adding the six phase meditation to my morning routine, it's not a huge time commitment but it has the potential to open up so many doors. I'll have to write a follow up review after I've been practicing the life hacks for a set amount of time and can see and feel the results. A wonderful read that will open your mind and make you think about your perception of reality.I received this book for free from Blogging for Books in return for my honest, unbiased opinion.
This is one of the best self growth books that I have read/heard so far. Information is presented with immense clarity. Vishen is a computer engineer and hence the information follows a chronology, a sequence a.k.a algorithm. I have been looking for different meditation methods and I loved the 6 phase meditation. Its quick, relaxing and gives you a vision for everyday and 3 yrs from now. I feel a great control over my though processes and mind overall. I highly recommend this book.
The examples and simplicity of the suggestions along with the advice for people to follow add to the books importance as a must read. I really like the part of being unfuckable.
Amazing book! Extremely clear and helpful! You are guided but absolutely free to design your future and live your best now! Ready to start and willing to go deeper!! Thanks Vishen for a lifetime advice. I recommended it to my 20 years old daughter!
I think this book has pushed me over the edge and I won't read this genre of book anymore. It is all so self indulgent with anecdotes that are so unrelatable and only really serve as vehicle to talk about how the author was at an exclusive retreat retreat in Fiji with Hollywood stars. I gave up at the point of the author regaling his story of kissing the hottest girl at the dance. There are nuggets of good advice but having to be a proverbial pig to get to the truffle isn't worth it.
I just can't. The whole thing is just off. The constant promotion of his own website is non stop and infuriating. I'm looking for new insights. Couldn't find any here as just found myself getting upset at him quoting other authors I've already read and him rehashing their work. The points he was trying to make I couldn't understand as already in tune to myself enough that I know my own weaknesses and strengths so found him running in circles. I can't finish the book and don't recommend this to anyone unless this is your first book and you want some recommended readings half way through the book. Sorry but couldn't last more than 3/4.
Keep looking for other books

Wonderful book incl. practical guidance how to live your life.
I couldn't finish ? I can't believe so many others have
Ideias e conceitos inovadores para que mudanças extraordinárias aconteçam na sua vida!!!!
The author had rather profound message to paint. I'm sure it was done in the best way he can. Only two things hampred my experiences. Too much hype at the begnning without getting right to the substance and reference to invluded PDF which was not avaliable with this audiobook.
The part where the author speaks about the models of reality and the systems of living is a great discovery for who does not know it yet. Or know it but doesn't live it. Our knowledge about existence and truth are interrelated and static but should be as taught by the author, be questioned. And the systems of living are dynamic as it should be because we are living in always changing reality. So to be able to adapt we must create conscious systems for living. And that is also what the author talks about. So in this regard, I must say a book with real life ideas.
