'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 audiobook 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 listeners find enduring contentment by questioning some of the most fundamental aspects of their existence.

En av de bästa böcker jag någonsin har läst. Kommer läsa den om och om igen. Vackert, insiktsfullt, livsomvälvande.

Absolutely loved this audiobook, made extra special with narration by Mo himself. I will read this again soon to make sure I continue to bring a lot of more of his data driven wisdom into my life. Thank you.

Such a beautifully heartfelt book. Motivating and uplifting, making something beautiful of something terrible. I hope to meet Mo someday.

Det känns nästan hemskt att säga det men den här boken är inget vidare. Jag är glad att författaren fann ett sätt att ta sig igenom sin sorg och en del av hans tankar kan förhoppningsvis hjälpa andra men vill man hitta information om vad forskningen faktiskt säger om vad som bringar lycka är det här helt fel bok och mot slutet blir det rentav plågsamt att höra någon som så uppenbart inte riktigt har förstått evolutionsteori försöka att argumentera runt det. Läs istället Micael Dahléns korta och lättsamma men helt vetenskapligt uppdaterade bok om lycka, han beskriver de senaste rönen och vad man själv kan göra för att påverka sin lyckonivå på ett humoristiskt sätt på strax över två timmars lyssning.
