What You'll Learn From Ben

  1. How much of healthy aging comes from supplements and gadgets, from free things like sunlight, time outdoors and the people you love

  2. A full weekly workout plan for a busy person that takes about an hour a day

  3. The cheap form of creatine with the most research behind it, so you stop paying extra for newer versions

  4. Where most of the microplastics you take in come from, and the simple kitchen switch Ben made because of it

  5. Why Ben puts himself through 10 to 12 small, deliberate stresses every day, and what he means by "don't be a bubble boy"

“Extraordinary Minds” with Vishen Lakhiani

Vishen Lakhiani is the founder of Mindvalley and the author of three bestselling books: The Code of the Extraordinary Mind, The Buddha and the Badass and The 6 Phase Meditation.

On Extraordinary Minds, he sits down with the thought leaders, scientists, athletes, founders and teachers who have mastered two things: mental fitness and authority. The goal is to give you, and him, the body of an athlete, the mind of a stoic and the heart of a warrior.

The name means both: the minds he learns from, and the one you’re building. This is where you come to train your mind the way an athlete trains a body, and to become someone people turn to for what you know.
