What you're seeing here is a baby Yoda doll. It's so freaking cute. But in addition to baby Yoda, I have an actual Yoda in my life. And that is the subject of this video. For the last couple of years, I've had a mentor in my life. Well, I've had several mentors. But there's one guy that is so profound in my life that his advice to me is how I started the Buddha and the Badass. My recent Wall Street Journal number one business hardcover book. And his name is Professor Sri Kumar Rao. My team members so mock how much I reference Rao that they took this Instagram selfie of me and him and converted it into this dos Bastards. But the reason they did that is because Rao genuinely is like a Yoda to me if I was Luke Skywalker. And it has to do with the profound wisdom that he's able to impart onto me by getting me to shift the way I view circumstances in the world. You must unlearn what you have learned. You see, how we view the world determines how we show up and how we function the world. And Raou has been training me to be ultra resilient. Ultra resilient. No matter what comes your way, whether it is a freaking global pandemic or it's failure or it's your health collapsing or it's rejection. Ultra resiliency. It makes you immune to stress. It makes you immune to overwhelm. And this is the subject of this week's masterclass on mindvalley. Join me in a one hour training with Professor Sri Kumar Rao on how to shift and train your mind so that you have true grit, true resilience. Overwhelm dare not touch you and stress just doesn't break you. Rao is a formidable speaker and thinker. He was one of the first individuals to have the TED organization grab a talk of his that wasn't even even on a TED stage and feature it on Ted.com I believe in history, only 5 people have had that honor. Rao has been written about all over the press as one of the most profound and influential MBA professors in America. Students would line up to attend his classes in leading universities like Columbia, Kellogg, London Business School because of how he would change the way MBA graduates would view the world. It wouldn't just bring them success, it would bring them that thing that we all truly crave, happiness and living a fulfilled life.
