Why is it easier to ruminate over hurt feelings than it is to bask in the warmth of being appreciated? Because your brain evolved to learn quickly from bad experiences but slowly from the good ones. You can change this. Hardwiring Happiness lays out a simple method that uses the hidden power of everyday experiences to build new neural structures full of happiness, love, confidence, and peace. Dr. Hanson's four steps build strengths into your brain-- balancing its ancient negativity bias--making contentment and a powerful sense of resilience the new normal. In mere minutes each day, we can transform our brains into refuges and power centers of calm and happiness.

The Buddha and the Badass is a call to action for business leaders or anyone who aspires to be one. Corporate pioneer Vishen Lakhiani reveals the revolutionary culture-hacking formula he used to grow Mindvalley, his burgeoning personal development business that went from $700 into a $50 million business with zero funding. It's a clearly defined, five-step process that can transform your company into a magnet for the world's top talent, create a growth-centric culture, and engineer an environment of symbiotic co-creation, where the balance of autonomy, collaboration, and connection breeds happy, productive teams. You'll learn: · How to attract the right people: Focus not on hiring into specific roles, but hiring people who fit the culture you're trying to build. · How to create a motivated, inspired work culture: Vishen shares the four emotions that are dominant across all people looking for jobs so you can hire the right people. · How to create a culture where employees live better lives outside of work: Vishen shares his theory that we should work for the "minimum effective dose"--working harder, not longer, taking advantage of short spikes of energy to get a lot done. · How to coax the leadership instinct in your people: You should want your employees to be so good that they eventually leave you! · How to prepare for the future of work: What will the workplace look like when AI and robots replace employees and universal income is implemented? This is a guide to transforming your beliefs and habits to realize happiness, achieve success, and fulfil your purpose, using the exact strategies Lakhiani used to fuel Mindvalley's explosive growth.

Don't be fooled by the title. This book has nothing to do with meditation as you know it. We just didn't have enough space on the front cover to call it The 6 Phase Multi-Faceted Psycho-Spiritual Transcendent Mind-Training Technique . . .

Leading a revolution in meditation, entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling author Vishen Lakhiani interviewed nearly 1,000 neuroscientists, monks, yogis, and meditation experts over years of study. He distilled thousands of years of psycho-spiritual wisdom to create The 6 Phase Meditation Method-aka, meditation for badasses.

Used daily by athletes, artists, rock stars, and CEOs, the 6 Phase Meditation is a magic-making, joy-creating, productivity-inducing protocol that empowers you to get focused, find peace, and manifest your goals.

And this transcendent sequence is custom-designed to produce these peak states in its practitioners in minutes a day. No boredom, special breathing, or "clearing your mind" required.
