Book📘 81 Completed😊: The Code of the Extraordinary Mind – Vishen Lakhiani

We constantly upgrade our electronic models and systems, but many of us live with outdated beliefs and habits without even knowing it. When you swap out old, expired models and systems that limit you, you’re elevating your consciousness and opening the path to extraordinary living.

Vishen is hesitant to call this a personal growth book. It’s more of a personal disruption book. This book forces you to rethink aspects of your life that may have been running on autopilot for years.

Just as a programmer can program a computer to do specific tasks by understanding its code, you can program your life and the world around you to improve, enhance the way you live and the experiences you have in this lifetime.

Few 🔑Points –

• We inherit and transmit behaviors, emotions, beliefs, and religions not through rational choice but contagion. Ideas, memes, and culture are meant to evolve and change, and we are best served when we question them.

• Your model of reality (your hardware)– (what you think is what you get) - All of us have this ability to decide what models of reality we’ll adopt. You get to choose. (Our beliefs are our hardware)

• Your systems for living (Your software) – Your habits, or systems for living, are how you put your models of reality into practice. The trick is recognizing what systems you’re running and doing enough self-checks to quickly identify the ones you need to upgrade.

• Our beliefs are like unquestioned commands, telling us how things are, what’s possible and impossible and what we can and cannot do. They shape every action, thought, and feeling that we experience. As a result, changing our belief systems is central to making any real and lasting change in our lives. – Tony Robins

• Stop postponing your happiness. Be happy now. Your thoughts and beliefs do create your reality, and it will be good only when your present state is joyful. Have big goals—but don’t tie your happiness to your goals. You must be happy before you attain them.

Few📌 Quotes –

1. Every time you give someone the power to build you up with praise, you’re also unknowingly giving that person the power to destroy you with criticism.

2. We don’t have beliefs so much as beliefs “have” us.

3. The power to choose what we want to believe and what we want to disbelieve is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.
