Mo Gawdat
Mo Gawdat is a remarkable thinker and the Chief Business Officer at Google's [X], an elite team of engineers that comprise Google's futuristic "dream factory." Applying his superior 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 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.

Any additional comments?
I simply loved the book and thought it's perhaps the best self-help book I ever read. I felt the narration was very poor and couldn't understand many words spoken by the author. I think it was all "ego" to have narrated this extraordinary piece of self-help wisdom and should have been left to someone with a soothing relaxing voice.With that said, It's difficult to express just how great the material is and the research developed as well as the brilliant mind this man has to make it all work together.
The book is mostly about the loss of his son to be honest, and yet trying to get "back to happy" is a large issue here as well. It's either that or kill yourself from the grief I guess and he made the decision to honor his son and help others in the process. I sometimes sit back and imagine what it must be like to be this smart and yet still be full of compassion and love for others. What a great and honorable man. I wish the world had many men like this that felt driven to change the world for better rather the riches that does almost no one any good at all. This book, I truly believe can change lives and worth all your time to read or listen to it.
Wonderful book
