What Naveen Jain taught me on a bus ride in Boston… that led to Mindvalley University

This is the story of a simple conversation on a bus.

But it changed the trajectory of my life — and the destiny of my children.

Back in 2015, I was part of the XPRIZE Innovation Board — a small circle of CEOs, engineers, entrepreneurs, and futurists who met once a year to explore the frontiers of technology across the U.S.

On one of those trips, we found ourselves in Boston, visiting cutting-edge robotics labs. And one afternoon, on a bus ride between facilities, I found myself sitting ...

Mindvalley co-founder Kristina Mänd-Lakhiani stopped chasing perfection and built something flawesome

Unless you’re one of her sheep, you’ve probably never seen Kristina Mänd-Lakhiani with her hair in a loose top knot, sitting at her ancestral Estonian land while explaining the psychological cost of growing up under Soviet rule.

You also wouldn’t guess it from the credentials stacked after her name.

Or, if Google’s any indication: Kristina Mänd-Lakhiani, “Vishen Lakhiani’s wif...

What is edging? How to practice orgasm control for better sex

Edging might be a landscaping terminology, but in the realm of pleasure, it’s far from trimming the bush. It’s also not flashy, doesn’t come with a playlist, and you won’t find it trending alongside rose quartz yoni eggs or the latest libido gummies.

For all the things that it’s not, though, edging is a practice quietly gaining traction among the curious and the conscious. And its reputation is starting to shift from niche kink to mindful mastery.

Edging is designed to expand your orgasmi...

The spiritual philosophy of Bruce Lee

Sitting on the wall of my living room is one of the most treasured objects I own.

A pair of nunchucks used by Bruce Lee himself in Enter the Dragon, framed beside a hand-drawn sketch he made.

They’re not just memorabilia.
They’re a manifesto.

These nunchucks represent a way of thinking.
A way of being.
A way of growing.

It’s an idea Bruce Lee once shared with a student who was struggling with balance, unsure if he was “doing it right.” Bruce mentioned this line to the student….

“Abso...

The day John Lennon taught me what matters most — without even knowing it

I know this is a bold title — but hear me out. It’s a story about a man you’ve definitely heard of… but maybe didn’t really know. A man who made one powerful decision before his death — and it changed the nature of his life and the life of his child.

Hey Mindvalley family,

Something has been hitting me hard lately — in the best, most gut-punching kind of way.

My son Hayden is turning 18.

My daughter Eve just finished primary school. High school is next. She still slips her hand into ...

The day John Lennon taught me what matters most—without even knowing it

Hey Mindvalley family,

Something has been hitting me hard lately — in the best, most gut-punching kind of way.

My son Hayden is turning 18.

My daughter Eve just finished primary school. High school is next. She still slips her hand into mine when we cross the street — but I can feel the clock ticking on that too.

I’ve spent years building a company that helps people transform. I’ve stood on stages, meditated with monks, interviewed billionaires and brain scientists… And yet nothing h...

7 timeless Buddhist sutras every modern mystic should know

Long before spiritual books decorated bookshelves worldwide and meditation apps existed to help normalize being “zen,” there were Buddhist sutras. 

If you’ve ever sat in silence hoping for peace and wondered what the Buddha actually taught, then they may be the answer you’re looking for.

“The sutras are seed sounds,” says Deborah King, a spiritual teacher, author of the New York Times best-selling book Be Your Own Shaman, and one of Mindvalley’s most revered personal transformation trainer...

“Iron Cowboy” James Lawrence reveals the real reason most people never change

You want to change. Most people do. But when things get uncomfortable, when the habit is hard to stick to, the results are slow, or life gets in the way, how often do you follow through?

The truth is, change isn’t always motivating. Most of the time, it’s messy, inconvenient, and painful. And that’s when most people give up.

But James Lawrence, a.k.a., the Iron Cowboy, didn’t. He chose to keep going, even when everything in him wanted to stop.

“I just kept wondering what is the human bo...
