This short Mindvalley trailer (Vishen Lakhiani with John and Missy) presents the Lifebook approach to designing an "extraordinary life." It argues that many people are consumed by career and finances and proposes creating a clear life vision (a "North Star") that aligns decisions and actions. The speakers say they identified 12 life areas to master, and they offer a simple self-discovery process for each area: (1) What do you believe? (2) What is your highest vision for yourself? (3) Why do you want that? (4) What will you do today to make it real. The trailer emphasizes authenticity, autonomy, and resisting external programming.
Chapters
Career and financial are the two categories that really suck the life out of most people's lives. And they spend 80, 90% of their time in those two categories.
Success is so much more than your title or the money in your bank account or your career. It is so much more multi dimensional.
If your goal is to create an extraordinary life that works at a high level in every important area, the first thing you have to know is what that looks like. Because you will never achieve that unless you know what it is that you're moving toward. If you have a life vision and you know exactly where you want to take your life, that's your North Star. Every decision you make, every action you take has to line up with that North Star. You have a decision making framework, say, is this right for me or is this wrong for me? And how do you do that? Is it going to get me closer or farther away from that? The first thing that we did is we asked ourselves, if we want a truly extraordinary life, what are the areas of life that we really have to master? We really have to learn how to just crush every single day and then we're going to be living that beautiful life. So we identified 12 areas of life that we focused on over the years. What do I want in each of these areas of my life? Not what society tells me I should want. My parents, my teachers, my preachers. What do I really want deep down inside?
And the way that you discover your life vision is by asking yourself a few questions in each one of these categories. And the first one is, what do you really believe? What do you believe in this category? What do you believe is true for yourself, not for anybody else, not for society, not for Vishen, not for John and Missy, for you, not for anyone else. And the next one is, what is your highest version or highest vision of your own self in that category? The third one is, if that's what you believe and that's what you want, why? Why do you want that? So you have to answer that question. And then the last one is, if you want all that stuff you believe all that stuff, what are you gonna do in your life today to make that a reality and make that your real life? So we really dig in deep and do a lot of self discovery because a lot of people don't even know what they believe or where they're beginning from.
You become more authentic, you become more autonomous. You are living your life and you are more immune to the programming from the world around you. You need to know who you are, what you represent, who you choose to be so so that you can rock it towards your vision for your life.
LifeBook helps you develop a sense of your highest self, a very well clarified sense of your highest self. That's at the end of the program. That's what you.
