Speaker Vishen Lakhiani defines "transformation" as an irreversible shift toward greater understanding and explains that great teachers do two things: (1) introduce new models of reality (disrupt outdated paradigms and supply new beliefs) and (2) provide daily habits or "systems for living" that enact those beliefs. He contrasts strong teachers (who provide both) with weak teachers (who provide only one).

Transformation is an irreversible shift towards a greater understanding of the world. That's it. It's an irreversible shift. Once you learn the power of kindness, you don't go back. You don't revert to being an a hole. Here's how you do it. To understand this, you got to understand how good teachers teach. Okay? So good teachers, all the great teachers that I bring to Mindvalley, from Sadhguru to Jim Kwik to Marisa Peer, all do two things. They introduce what I call new models of reality. New models of reality that disrupt an outdated paradigm and give you a new belief about how the world works. But the second thing they do is they give you daily habits. These are called systems for living. You know, brushing your teeth is a system for living. Doing morning exercise is a system for living. Weak teachers will do only one they will only teach you the exercise, but they don't give you the belief. Or they give you the belief, but they don't tell you how to enact that belief. You must do both.
