Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Leah on November 19, 2021

I think the reason people hated this book was because of their expectation. I'll say this straight up this book doesn't have to do with Buddhism or learning Buddhist practices. It is not spiritual, it's psychological. It's more a mishmash of Vishens learnings of feelings, emotions, cultural acceptan......more

I started reading this book as an open minded skeptic because while I do think Vishen has a lot to offer and yet a lot of the times his concepts can get too abstract so that you aren't actually able to execute on them. With that said, Vishen totally blew me away with this book, it is a business book......more

I truly resonate with the key concepts of this book and it's a gem: full of stories, practical examples and exercises. In particular I loved the sections about clarity of vision and upgrading identity. I had a proof of its value time and time again and I wish more people new about it. I recommend this......more

I am a occasional reader of personal development books, and I always feel inspired by them. However, it is not always easy to connect with them. I think thats the most important thung, the connection. Personal growth is nice to read about, but translating it into action often is tricky. For me this b......more

Goodreads review by Velika on July 13, 2020

If you work at or are interviewing for a job at Mind Valley, this should be required reading. For the rest of us, I'd say it will be hard to implement his advice when you work in corporate America and they literally could care less what you think.......more
