Solve for Happy
Author: Mo Gawdat
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501157590
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
In this “powerful personal story woven with a rich analysis of what we all seek” (Sergey Brin, cofounder of Google), Mo Gawdat, Chief Business Officer at Google’s [X], applies his superior logic and problem solving skills to understand how the brain processes joy and sadness—and then he solves for happy. 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 happiness. Thirteen years later, Mo’s 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 them 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 were always aiming for—he would share his equation with the world and help as many people as possible become happier. 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 brain’s blind spots; and embrace five ultimate truths. No matter what obstacles we face, what burdens we bear, what trials we’ve experienced, we can all be content with our present situation and optimistic about the future.

How to Be Happy at Work

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Life's too short to be unhappy at work "I'm working harder than I ever have, and I don't know if it's worth it anymore." If you're a manager or leader, these words have probably run through your mind. So many of us are feeling fed up, burned out, and unhappy at work: the constant pressure and stress, the unending changes, the politics--people feel as though they can't give much more, and performance is suffering. But it's work, after all, right? Should we even expect to be fulfilled and happy at work? Yes, we should, says Annie McKee, coauthor of the bestselling Primal Leadership. In her new transformative book, she makes the most compelling case yet that happiness--and the full engagement that comes with it--is more important than ever in today's workplace, and she sheds new light on the powerful relationship of happiness to individual, team, and organizational success. Based on extensive research and decades of experience with leaders, this book reveals that people must have three essential elements in order to be happy at work: A sense of purpose and the chance to contribute to something bigger than themselves A vision that is powerful and personal, creating a real sense of hope Resonant, friendly relationships With vivid and moving real-life stories, the book shows how leaders can use these powerful pillars to create and sustain happiness even when they're under pressure. By emphasizing purpose, hope, and friendships they can also ensure a healthy, positive climate for their teams and throughout the organization. How to Be Happy at Work deepens our understanding of what it means to be truly fulfilled and effective at work and provides clear, practical advice and instruction for how to get there--no matter what job you have.

Book Description
Verena Tovick-Ra, beautiful, bronze explorer as well as the princess of Vixen had been sent out on many missions before. This present mission, more important and more simple than all the others, had developed into a lengthy, complex, tormenting situation. Lengthy, for it took longer than anticipated to find a planet that sustained compatible males for the Sisters of Vixen to obtain as mates. All their men had died suddenly by a mysterious plague they could not cure. Complex were their dealings with the males of Earth they had obtained. Converting their ship into a workplace had been simple, making them believe that they were still on Earth instead of flying through space toward their new destiny was easy. Getting used to their large size and manner was another matter. These males actually thought that they were equal to females, and worse yet, should be treated with higher regard! Verena's dealing with the one male who had been watching them before they left Earth and knew of the abductions was the most complex of situations. Jordan Mitchell, pale, large and bulky was determined to get back to Earth. Of course he could not return. He was her future mate. Jordan's resistance was the last factor of this most difficult trip. Having marked him as her own and not following with the traditional Ceremony of Unity Verena's very life was at risk. Add to that an unwarranted attacked by a neighboring planet resulting in a forced alliance with their new mates as they fight against a conspiracy toward Vixen. Where will it all lead?
