Overview
Mindvalley is a global educational technology company specializing in personal development and online education. Founded in 2002 by Vishen Lakhiani, the company offers courses on health, wellness, spirituality, entrepreneurship, and mindfulness.
History
Mindvalley is a personal development and education company founded in 2002 by Vishen Lakhiani, a former computer engineer and entrepreneur. The company initially operated in New York City, selling meditation CDs. In 2004, it relocated its headquarters to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and expanded its offerings to include digital courses and online content...[1]
By 2010, Mindvalley had introduced several programs, including the "Superbrain[2]" course by Jim Kwik [3] and the "Lifebook[4]" program by Jon and Missy Butcher. In 2016, the company launched the Mindvalley Membership, providing subscribers with access to its catalog of courses and live events. It also released a mobile app during this period.
Since 2020, Mindvalley has organized multiple editions of its A-Fest event and introduced E.V.E., an AI-powered assistant.
Vishen Lakhiani has been involved in the fields of entrepreneurship and personal development. He has spoken at conferences and has been featured in various media outlets, including leadership-focused publications and news organizations such as CNN.[5][6]
As of 2025, Mindvalley continues to expand its course offerings and technological capabilities.[7]

Events and community

Technology and innovation
Mindvalley uses advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to” make learning more personal and effective”. One of its key innovations is E.V.E. (Everyone Elevates)[17], an AI-powered assistant that helps users with personal growth. E.V.E. collects data from wearable devices to understand how users are feeling and provides real-time support. For example, if someone is feeling stressed, E.V.E. might suggest a relaxation technique or a calming playlist. It can also create custom podcasts in the user’s own AI-generated voice.
In addition, Mindvalley CEO Vishen Lakhiani has promoted a shift away from traditional office structures, advocating for remote flexibility and a focus on deep work.[18]
Mindvalley and Apple collaboration
Mindvalley has partnered with Apple Inc. to make its self-improvement courses more accessible by integrating them into Apple's ecosystem[19]. The Mindvalley app is now pre-installed on demo devices at Apple Stores globally, showcasing its content through iOS 18 and Apple devices. This collaboration extends to Apple Vision Pro. The initiative is launching in January 2025.
Criticism and controversies
Mindvalley has attracted a large audience, but it has also faced criticism. Some commentators have questioned the scientific basis of certain courses, while others have raised concerns about the pricing of its programs.
