What is Becoming Flawesome?
By Kristina Mand-Lakhiani
Being deeply involved in the personal growth industry for 20
years, surrounded by professional friends who have written and published
successful books, I always assumed that I would write a book. It seemed like a
natural progression within our industry. However, my tendency to be brutally
honest with myself presented a challenge. I knew that I would only write a book
when I had something meaningful to contribute. This realization took years because
I had been focused on my work as an entrepreneur and marketer, helping other
authors convey their messages and teaching their methods. It was only after
some time that I recognized I had my own unique perspective to share, even if
it drew inspiration from the teachings of others.
At a certain point, I felt a strong desire to share a
message with the world, and that was the moment I knew I was ready to write the
book. I sat down and began the writing process. However, my initial concern was
finding the right publisher. Given my deep involvement in the industry, I felt
a strong inclination to publish with an exceptional and reputable publisher. I
hesitated to publish independently, as I felt it would not align with the ideas
I embraced as a co-founder of a prominent company in our field. It dawned on me
that if I wanted to write a book about staying true to myself, my values, and
authenticity, I needed to do it on my own terms. This realization led me to
choose self-publishing, enabling me to make independent decisions about
content, writing style, and the order in which it would be presented. The
initial version of the book carried a rebellious tone, reflecting this newfound
autonomy.
However, upon completing the manuscript and preparing for
publication, an unexpected opportunity arose. A reputable publisher, one that I
had admired for some time, expressed interest in publishing my book. At that
point, I felt that my book could benefit from being associated with a
well-established publisher like Hay House. I agreed to work with them under the
condition that they would allow me to retain my unique and somewhat obstinate
style. Although additional editing was done in collaboration with Hay House,
the book still maintains some of its unconventional nature. In essence, this
book represents a small act of rebellion, which aligns well with its topic. This
book will help you to find your way back to your most authentic self, break
free from toxic perfectionism, and start living flawesomely - find the courage
to be completely honest with yourself, and kindness in your heart to love and
accept yourself unconditionally.
She started her career in a government office in her native Estonia and, by her mid-20s, achieved a level of success mostly known to male politicians at the end of their careers. It was shortly after that Kristina and her then-husband Vishen founded Mindvalley. From a small meditation business operating out of the couple’s apartment in New York, the company grew into a global educational organization offering top training for peak human performance to hundreds of thousands of students all around the world.
Kristina believes life it too important to be taken seriously and makes sure to bring fun into every one of her roles: as a teacher, mother, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and world traveler. Kristina helps her students to virtually hack happiness by taking them through her unique framework – “Hacking happiness” – a unique framework of balancing your life, taking in every moment, and paying close attention the small daily choices.
Kristina is also the author of three transformational quests – “7 Days to Happiness“, “Live By Your Own Rules.” and “The Art of Being Flawesome.” Kristina talks about personal transformation, authenticity, understanding and accepting oneself, and a path to happiness.
In July 2023, with the help of Hay House Publishing, Kristina releases her very first book – “Becoming Flawesome” #BecomingFlawsome. In her book, Kristina shares her own journey from being on top of a personal growth empire like Mindvalley to stepping aside, conscious uncoupling from her husband, and walking her path towards being more honest with herself.
