In this âpowerful personal story woven with a rich analysis of what we all seekâ (Sergey Brin, cofounder of Google), Mo Gawdat, Chief Business Officer at Googleâs [X], applies his superior logic and problem solving skills to understand how the brain processes joy and sadnessâand then he solves for happy with a practical happiness formula rooted in logic and personal growth.
In 2001, Mo Gawdat 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 happinessâa unique engineering approach to happiness that blends neuroscience and positive psychology.
Thirteen years later, Moâs algorithm would be put to the ultimate test. After the sudden death of his son, Ali, Mo and his family turned to his equationâand it saved them from despair. In coping with tragedy and loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of âmoonshotâ goal that he and his colleagues were always aiming forâhe would share his equation with the world and help as many people as possible find joy after loss and embrace emotional resilience.
In Solve for Happy, 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, mindful living, 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 brainâs blind spots; and embrace five ultimate truths for lasting inner peace.
No matter what obstacles we face, what burdens we bear, what trials weâve experienced, we can all be content with our present situation and optimistic about the future. This inspiring self-help book offers readers a guide to emotional healing and a philosophy for living with joy.
