I had a Mindvalley sub for a year. The production quality is top-notch and some of the "Quests" are really good if you have the time. But you are right, it is expensive and requires a lot of commitment. If you are on a budget, I would recommend checking out the summaries of the authors' books on Headway first. A lot of the Mindvalley teachers have books that are summarized there. I actually saw a pretty honest review here: https://makeheadway.com/blog/mindvalley-review/. It helped me decide what was worth my time and what was just filler. Personally, I think Headway is a better "daily" tool because it is so quick, while Mindvalley is more for deep dives. Start with the books and see if the philosophy resonates with you before dropping hundreds of dollars on a full course!
