The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed On Your Own Terms by Vishen LakhianiMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
This is another example of a book that is as much an advertisement for the author’s website and paid content as it is to provide some actionable ideas to live your life in a better way. Many, if not all of the suggestions I’ve read before in different books, and in fact the author quotes from some of these source books quite often. To the good, the author does interject personal experiences that are at times interesting. He also has an energy-filled writing style. To the bad, the author writes this in a way typical for stretching limited content, by repeatedly telling you what he will be covering in upcoming chapters. You end up hearing what’s coming up a few times before you actually get to it, and at times when you get to the meat of the ideas you are underwhelmed because it’s familiar. On the audio version of this book, the author narrates. You get his excitement, but the reading is unsteady, with some odd timing. I would consider reading more by this author, but would look to verify that it wasn’t advertising focused.
