Why Happiness is the New Productivity (The Story of Mindvalley) | Vishen Lakhiani

Discover the 10 unconventional laws that all extraordinary people live by in Vishen Lakhiani's new book, "The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed On Your Own Terms". Learn more in Vishen's Consciousness Engineering program here: bit.ly/2ty7qAr
We know that our Flow impacts our productivity, luck and creativity. But is there a way to deliberately put ourselves in Flow? The answer is a resounding "YES" as you'll see in this wildly popular speech by Vishen Lakhiani. Given at a stage where luminaries such as Sir Richard Branson, the Dalai Lama, Stephen Covey & F.W De Klerk spoke, this was voted #1 by the attendees for one reason: Flow is real and it changes everything.
In 2009 Vishen Lakhiani was asked to speak at Engage Today in Calgary, along with such luminaries as Sir Richard Branson, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Stephen Covey, Nobel Prize Winner F.W De Klerk, Tony Hsieh, the founder of Zappos.com and world-famous artist Wyland.
This speech was voted as one of the top 3 speeches of the entire event (along with Tony Hsieh and motivational speaker Sean Stephenson).
In this presentation, Vishen talks about Flow: The Ultimate State of Human Existence. He then shares 10 tips on how to master this state, so that you can operate at peak performance no matter what life throws at you.

Im happy to see, that there is people who talks about flow. Progression is inevitable. It might take generations for our species to digest the concept. But it's worth it.

I have been watching Ted Talks mostly Simon Sinek. After viewing this I was invited to a free online seminar 3/12/14 6pm, Such awesome fortune as a trainer, healer and coach for over 15 years. In gratitude this was shared by a friend in Canada on FB.

[@DigitalSophisticate]

Absolutely brilliant talk by Vishen, loaded with his insightfullness, honesty and forward-thinking. THIS is the way to run the company of today! Corporate America - take note.

[@jovanna200]

so delicate the balance with being happy now and still having a forward thinking vision. That is so powerful to be there in that state of flow and think something good will happen because you are intenting on it.

[@GinAmber]

Love it !!! Great speech !

[@jendemott]

As a very underappreciated teacher, I wish with all my might that the educational system approached management of teachers with such an appreciative and positive manner. Everyone but especially our kids would greatly benefit!!! Our current system burns the passion and excitement from teachers.

I am Mr AK Prasad , live in Mogok ,Ruby land , I am very happy for meet many good good friends, I am change many things not can say . thanks all of you . Mr AK Prasad

[@tigereyes2029]

Amazing. Life changing and inspiring. Everyone should have the chance to experience a company culture like Mindvalley, a culture that enables one's highest potential to flourish and grow. Vishen is a true visionary.

[@lovely12958]

I just love the way VISHEN LAKHIANI speaks and enthralls the audience.Awesome.:)

[@mikedenham4889]

I stopped watching the talk to go see what the book was about. I watched the video on the book page and my jaw dropped.This morning, on LInkedIn, I posted an article I wrote in 2013 called "The power of questions: the fine line between a visionary and a cynic" Very timely. Maybe I'll have more time tomorrow to finish the talk. Thanks for sharing +Vishen Lakhiani!

[@marpolansky7152]

Vishen, you are the Inspirational Trigger for transformation of the heavy-breathing, cold, unfriendly, soul-separating, slavery-driven, human-dominating, old-energy Corporate World of today into a Spiritually Advanced, balanced, happiness based, beautiful world of the future where we are all equals living in true Love & Compassion for each other. We all have our parts to play in this amazing transition of the planet. You are Truly in the Flow. It was a Pleasure to listen to you. Awesome Presentation, Awesome Energy. I wish you All The Best. Spread Your Knowledge & Take Care of Yourself. - Namaste

[@prabeeshjoseph]

I practise meditation,gratitude etc since almost 2 years.I was never able to do it incessantly for at least 2 weeks.Somewhere I would fail in continuity ;but even though I find myself changed in my perspective to life,success,dream etc.Now I have determined to go for it without break;for I know it can change the entire life amazingly...Thanks to all in the loop and all the best..

[@Kerrwynn]

Thank you, Vishen, for all that you are sharing with the world. Your ideas and approach are delightful and powerful and my wish is that more people in the 'business world' would embrace your ideas!

[@GravesMRA]

I've been recently making changes in my life with changes for the better and changes that are positive. All these self help guides, books, articles, and videos I've been absorbing have really opened my eyes/mind to many things but most importantly they seem to have taught me a lot about myself. I'm proud to say this is the 1st educational video that I HAVE DECIDED to fully watch from start to finish and pay attention to (no fast forwarding, skipping, interruptions, etc.). Best decision I've made in awhile... I thank you Vishen!

[@ProjectbetterMe]

Inspiring talk and my favourite moment was: "The big secret is... if you are in a career or job or even in your own business and if you not truly enjoy what you do... get out!"

[@ZEvenEsh]

Vishen!!! I LOVED this video, brotha! LOVED it!!!!!!!!!

[@AdhocracyUK]

Life changing video. Just implemented awesomeness voting and the wall of awesomeness on my project. Oath of awesomeness and daily gratitude blog coming next. Thanks Vishen.

[@dannycarlson4327]

Wow man, I just sent a video to my team about how this is all going down. Totally resonates with the team we're trying to build here and I have a page of notes to implement. Thanks man!

[@sallytareq]

Inspiring.. I really needed that! I am happy where am I now but I realized I do not have a vision! And that needs to be changed.. Thank you!

[@SarahVision]

Vishen is a great speaker. That was awesome :)

[@doubl3m1nt]

15:00 for me the essence of the vid. The whole talk is just awesome. Thanks a lot!

[@markkennedy255]

Well done! Sounds like a dream company to work with!

[@creemeeontop]

A dog as PR rep is the best idea in the world !!! That way, you don't throw BS at people. You just bark awesomeness.

[@cocopolanco6253]

Good Morning from Miami Beach, blessings to all!

[@Kate-ef1ui]

Started my working day with the video on the background - got happy and inspired :-) Shared in my company! Thanks!

[@mailwajeeth]

Good One! If one point to be noted, it's the 'State of Flow' emphasized in Law of Attraction.

[@Electricmeg]

How many times have I destroyed my life to allow greater things to happen? No friggin idea. But I am now embarking on my the greatest vision of my life.... it's taken me almost 50 years to get here.... but it feels AWESOME!!!! Every word you say is true, Vishan, so glad to hear you speak.

[@ElishaLoweRN]

Great message Vishen! Just saw Shawn Achor present a similar message last week in San Antonio. Awesomeness Fest is in my 5 year plan. Thank you! BTW what's up with all the trolls in the comments? Small & petty. Go make a difference in the world instead of anonymously trying to tear folks down

[@lindav.3678]

This presentation awakened and ignited a dormant vibration. It resonated with all my experiences, my process, and learnings, including my participation with Abraham-Hicks. Instead of being inspiring as is my nature, I was inspired. You combine work, play, and love in the most amazing of ways. Gracious Txs !!! ~ Linda Vucelich offering any of her myriad of skills in any way possible.

[@hajanhk]

Happiness is the most essential element in anything for making positive progress. If you make your employees Happy and feel like a Family, they will reward the company with Incredible Productivity. I always believed in this idea and I hope the visions I have will soon become true. Thank You for the excellent speech!

[@rianonenryu8234]

Thanks for inspiring me! I am so grateful I am viewing this at such a young age, and if it wasn't for people like you telling me what is real, I'd probably still be depressed. I'm one of your Mindvalley students at the moment actually, and everything I'm seeing is helping me so much. The amount of quotes I've taken from Mindvalley videos, webinars and courses have been a great help, so thank you!!! Nirrastou (defying convention with new religion and language) 😊

[@kellyhendrix6666]

The big Vishen makes things happen ;)

[@KenPickard]

Loved the video. The ideas around support and enhancing the culture of your company and it's people are refreshing. Especially the Awesomeness report!

[@VickyChrisikoupublic]

Thank you for your message, your enthusiasm, the way you delivered it. I find it awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@unidie]

It's awesome seeing Mindvalley doing so well with such a simple business model. The part about bonuses being given to you by coworkers sounds daunting, unless you love them all, haha.

[@christinaflores9878]

Fantastic talk Vishen!

[@kingmonkeyno1]

i absolutely fricking love this video and all the ideas expressed here. Id use a stronger word but im too polite. I sincerely hope there are more people like you and more businesses embracing the new paradigm..........thankyou

[@BrittReints]

Great talk, a must watch for any entreprenuer

[@MeaganFrancis]

Adding this to my must-watch list now!

[@LNNMHARWOOD]

Probably the most inspiring, soul warming, well timed ( sychronicity :-)) and hopefully life changing video I've seen on KZbin and or TedX ( and I've seen a LOT) , thank you ftbomy Vishen !!!!!

[@VickieSiculianosaywow]

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success, love what you do and you will be successful.

[@stefaniaorsi5538]

Next step is introducing 'the flow techinque' at school with little kids: this will help future adults in work and family life! Thanks for improving our lives!

[@RicoRamos007]

So true..so, so true! Flow cannot happen if you are not happy....a lesson I learned in a very difficult way. When he mentions "destroying your life to make it better" that is/was what I had to do. Ended a "toxic relationship" that I convinced myself was where I belonged...Happiness is something you cannot take for granted.

[@braveheartsacademy]

Our brother vishen lakhiani's is correct message given in the 52 minutes unstoppable speech. 1) self happyness we can spread to the planet. 2) employee happyness make them laugh 3) mindset 4) flow of divine grace 5) goals 6) family time .... wow brother great speech. this is my one comment. our braveheartsacademy follow the happyness is the real success.... what else we want for this life..... thank you readers.

[@curtisroberts2642]

This is one of the best talks on creating a successful management strategy for your business!

[@GeniesMaster]

WoW! Loved the speech! Very inspiring! If I may say, I would absolutely LOVE to find a job and work side by side, hand in hand with beautiful and enlighten people like that! It's a true Blessing a wonderful gift! :)) Thank you to Mike Klingler for posting this link on Facebook. Much success love and happiness for 2012!

[@milenastoyanovabg]

AMAZING WORKPLACE CULTURE TIPS! If they are implemented all over the world, the whole landscape of the workplace will change. Working will become the best place to be!

[@britchotte]

At 45:35 someone asks him how he found the right friends to do this all with and this is one spot where Vishen doesn't give the right answer. He knows it but didn't apply it to this question. When you are in a state of happiness, have goals and a vision but are relaxed and content with what you have now, you begin to vibrate and those vibrations literally attract what you need. The universe sees you are looking for something and letting it do its work allows the delivery to occur. Its very amazing. Now whether you say universe, God, Tao, Supreme Integral, it doesn't matter. Its your state of being that matters.

[@JisselReyes]

This is amazing. thank you so much for sharing it. This is came at the right time into my life. Namaste

[@shravansoul]

it's amazing...........

[@DerekFrazier2014]

All entrepreneurs should take some time and veiw this. Great information.

[@CameronCrane]

10 minutes in to this video, and I am in tears. I can relate to every single thing he is saying. Literally every thing. I have never felt as happy as I do right now, I feel like years of searching for people like me have vanished. In its place is a sense of comfort and home. I want to go through anything I can to help out mindvalley in any way I can. Job, pay, or neither, I want to help in any and every way I can.

[@samsmd]

I love presentations like this - very insightful and inspirational, thanks for the upload.

[@richardchan66]

A thoroughly inspiring guy

[@IngridGeronimo]

What unbelievably awesome and innovative "bust-the-box" thinking and implementing. I will follow this model. Keep it up Vishen! You're creating the new world model for a better economy! :)

[@ColinTipton]

Awesome. I need a job and hope for a future. I feel very unhappy. My fault because I did not believe in myself when I should have when I was younger. Still, I know that if I pull my head out of my butt and apply myself I can overcome any obstacle in my way.

[@Lenora10]

Chha Gye sir aap.aao kabhi India.love you sir.

[@ElaineMooreone]

What a wonderful model. Many are still attempting to do what really never worked as far as happiness or sustainability is concerned, we must find another way to be successful. As the absence of disease is not the definition of health any longer but emotional and spiritual health as well, so is work not the stress and keeping up with the Jones that it once was, I really appreciate this, it is amazingly great. ...

[@kmeid]

love what you are doing will lead you to do what you love
