A startlingly original work in the tradition of The Power of Now and The Art of Happiness, this book presents the first-ever equation for achieving enduring happiness. In 2004, Mo Gawdat, a leading technology executive, realized that despite his material success, he was deeply unhappy. Approaching the issue as an engineer, he meticulously examined the facts and followed logic to uncover the equation for permanent happiness. A decade later, this research became vital when he faced the devastating loss of his college-aged son, Ali, after routine surgery. In the wake of this tragedy, Mo found his mission: to help ten million people achieve happiness by sharing his principles in a book. He challenges fundamental aspects of existence, starting with the premise that happiness is our default state. He explains how to manage expectations to encompass the full range of possible events, ensuring that outcomes align with our predictions. Mo teaches us to view life clearly, dispel illusions that cloud our thinking, and embrace five ultimate truths. The message is clear: humans are inherently designed for happiness. Regardless of the obstacles we face or the burdens we carry, we can find contentment in our present circumstances and maintain optimism for the future.…
