Softcover. Condition: Good. Mo Gawdat is the Vice President of Business Innovation at Googles [X]. Applying his superior skills of logic and problem solving to the issue of happiness, he proposes an equation based on an understanding of how the brain takes in and processes joy and sadness. Then he <i>solves for happy</i>.<br /><br />In 2001, Mo Gawdat, a remarkable thinker and leading technology executive, realized that despite his incredible success, he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would, examining all the provable facts and scrupulously applying logic. Eventually, his countless hours of research and science proved successful, and he discovered the equation for permanent happiness.<br /><br />Thirteen years later, Mos algorithm would be put to the ultimate test. After the sudden death of his son, Ali, Mo and his family turned to his equation-and it saved him from despair. In dealing with the horrible loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of moonshot goal that he and his colleagues at Googles dream factory, [X], were always aiming for-he would share his equation with the world and help as many people as possible become happier.<br /><br />In <i>Solve for Happy</i> Mo questions some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence, shares the underlying reasons for suffering, and plots out a step-by-step process for achieving lifelong happiness and enduring contentment. He shows us how to view life through a clear lens, teaching us how to dispel the illusions that cloud our thinking; overcome the brains deadly defects; and embrace five ultimate truths.<br /><br />The message in <i>Solve for Happy</i> is clear: humans are <i>designed </i>to be happy. No matter what obstacles we face, what burdens we bear, what trials weve experienced, we can all be content with our present situation and optimistic about the future.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'He explains how even in the face of the unthinkable, happiness is still possible' Stylist Solve for Happy is the equation for happiness. A startlingly original book about creating and maintaining happiness, written by a top Google executive with an engineer's training and fondness for thoroughly analyzing a problem. Mo Gawdat, a remarkable thinker whose gifts had landed him top positions in half a dozen companies and who in his spare time had created significant wealth, realized that he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would, examining all the provable facts and scrupulously following logic. When he was finished, he had discovered the equation for enduring happiness. Ten years later, that research saved him from despair when his college-aged son, Ali also intellectually gifted died during routine surgery. In dealing with the loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of 'moonshot' that he and his Google [X] colleagues were always aiming for: he would help ten million people become happier by pouring his happiness principles into a book and spreading its message around the world. One of Solve for Happy's key premises is that happiness is a default state. If we shape expectations to acknowledge the full range of possible events, unhappiness is on its way to being defeated. To steer clear of unhappiness traps, we must dispel the six illusions that cloud our thinking (e.g., the illusion of time, of control, and of fear); overcome the brain's seven deadly defects (e.g., the tendency to exaggerate, label, and filter), and embrace five ultimate truths (e.g., change is real, now is real, unconditional love is real). By means of several highly original thought experiments, Mo helps readers find enduring contentment by questioning some of the most fundamental aspects of their existence. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR009763137
