"Just from reading Vishen's book and starting some of the courses and mentoring I am amazed and proud of how much better a person I am"
After Vishen's book sat unread for months, Paul finally dove in and discovered a life-changing insight: focus on happiness first, not achievement. This shift helped them reclaim authentic joy and reignite their passion for growth.
I have recently joined Mindvalley because of Vishen's book. The book was a gift and it had been sitting on my bedside table for over 6 months. Over the Christmas holiday period I decided to continue reading it. Vishen wrote about attending a dinner with Sir Richard Branson who stood up on the dinner table and danced with Vishen's wife. Now I had just been blessed with a 4 day stay on Makepeace Island, one of Sir Richard's residences, and I could picture very clearly this scenario occurring in the house I had been staying in. The point Vishen made was that you need to focus on being happy so you can work hard rather than (what I've been doing) working hard to achieve goals in the hope that achieving those goals will make me happy. Failing to achieve the goals I set made me miserable so I decided that I need to get my real authentic happiness back and become Unfuckwithable. Just from reading Vishen's book and just starting some of the courses and mentoring I am amazed and proud of how much better a person I am and I have regained an insatiable appetite for learning and growing. And for that I thank you.
