263: Vishen Lakhiani: Facilitating Global Transformation In One Generation

Vishen Lakhiani is the founder and CEO of Mindvalley University. With over 2 million students, Mindvalley is a global school for humanity that delivers transformational education for all ages.

Mindvalley currently has a team of 300+ people from 58 nations. From their home base in Malaysia, Vishen and his team actively work to expand Mindvalley’s presence globally with the aim to bring its teachers, technology and programs into 100 national schooling systems and every Fortune 500 company within the next few years.

Vishen is also the author of The New York Times Best Seller The Code of The Extraordinary Mind which has been translated to more than 20 languages.

In today’s eye-opening conversation, Vishen shares his vision for global transformation and the future of humankind, beginning with the transformation of our education system which is outdated and no longer serves to equip us for the world we live in now. We further explore the difference between learning and transformation, and what it will take to create personal and global transformation in one generation.

We discuss the four levels of learning and transformation at Mindvalley, the seven areas of society we need to upgrade, and the five ways that generations of all ages can be on the forefront of transformation and apply rapid accelerated learning in their personal and business lives for ultimate success.

Imagine an education system that equips students with real-life skills and deep understanding of themselves, others and the world around them. Imagine a work environment that enriches your life and makes you a better person at home. This is the kind of world Vishen envisions and invites you to embrace.

6. Countries need to educate their populations for life, not just a few years.
