Promotional monologue by Vishen Lakhiani introducing themes from his book The Buddha & the Badass. The speaker argues that each person has a destiny and unique powers to enact change; one should surrender to the universe's plan while taking action, combining inner awareness (the “Buddha”) with bold impact (the “badass”) to create social and personal transformation, operating from ease, joy, and abundance.
Chapters
In a world that's no longer predictable, how do you become unstoppable? The universe has a plan for who it wants you to be. Every day when you wake up, you have an opportunity to surrender to the universe's plan. To allow the expression of your soul to come forth, to become what you were meant to be. This isn't the mission of a mystic in a mountaintop monastery. You were not meant to stagnate an endless introspection. You were meant for action. You have a unique role to play, a destiny to fulfill, a difference to make. Look carefully around you. You are needed, no matter your station. You possess incredible unique powers. And once you unleash them fully, magic happens. You gain access to tools to bend the very rules of reality and disrupt the way you work altogether. You live in this world with an ease, grace and flow that comes from inner awareness and alignment. You will create change challenging the norm so can be better. As a species. You will operate from a space of bliss, ease, inspiration and abundance. You become both the Buddha and the badass.
