The Code of the Extraordinary Mind

Personal growth entrepreneur Vishen Lakhiani argues that most people live by inherited rules about love, work, money, parenting and health, which he calls Brules, and that these can be questioned and replaced. Combining evolutionary biology, computational thinking, modern spirituality, integral theory and humor, he presents ten laws for recoding one's beliefs and habits. Ideas include consciousness engineering as a model for faster growth, bending reality, a practice he calls blissipline and the search for a personal quest. The framework draws on Lakhiani's own experience, the millions of people he has reached through Mindvalley and some 200 hours of interviews with figures such as Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington and Peter Diamandis. It reached the New York Times best-seller list.

Terminerinnerung founder Michael Herrmann described it as a personal development book full of insights, framed in terms programmers will love yet approachable rather than geeky.
