"Mo Gawdat is a remarkable thinker and the Chief Business Officer at Google's [X], an elite team of engineers that comprise a futuristic "dream factory." Applying his skills of logic and problem solving to the issue of happiness, he proposes an algorithm based on an understanding of how the brain takes in and processes joy and sadness. Then he solves for happy. In 2001 he realized that despite his success, he was desperately unhappy. He attacked the problem as an engineer would: examining all the provable facts and scrupulously applying logic. Eventually, he discovered the equation for permanent happiness. Thirteen years later, it would be put to the ultimate test. After the sudden death of his son, Ali turned to his equation and it saved him from despair. 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 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 blind spots; and embrace five ultimate truths."--Provided by publisher.
