But what if happiness was just a minute and a half away?In this episode, we explore the powerful “90-Second Rule” from happiness researcher Mo Gawdat — a rule born out of unimaginable personal loss, yet designed to help us all move from rumination to resilience.Join us as we reflect on their own struggles with letting go, discuss practical questions to break free from emotional spirals, and share why building new habits of happiness is a choice worth making. You'll come away encouraged, equipped, and maybe even ready to start over — in this minute, this hour, or this very day.Show Notes:To learn more about Researcher Mo Gawdat's research, check out this article:https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/05/happiness-researcher-shares-his-90-second-rule-to-live-a-better-more-fulfilled-life.html

Ceci est une lecture améliorée de ma newsletter : Il y a quelques semaines, je me suis surpris à rêver d'acheter un tapis de marche. Assis devant mon écran, je comparais les modèles, je regardais les différentes options (pliables ou pas), comparais les prix. Mais si je suis vraiment sincère avec moi-même, j'ai vu ce tapis de marche chez une amie, je parle beaucoup de mouvement avec mon ami Alex...Si je vous demande ce que vous désirez, vous allez répondre une chose ou une autre.Mais que désirez-vous vraiment ?Combien de fois avez-vous désiré quelque chose parce que votre collègue, votre beau-frère ou cette personne sur Instagram le possédait ? Il peut basiquement s'agir d'un objet mais cela peut aussi être une envie de couple, de vacances, d'enfants ou simplement d'un chien...Trop souvent on désire des « choses » pour combler un vide qui n'avait rien à voir avec l'objet de la convoitise. Combien de fois avez-vous cru vouloir quelque chose alors qu'en réalité, vous ne faisiez que singer les désirs des autres ? Mais surtout combien de fois avez-vous ressenti le vide après avoir acquis l'objet en question.Si ces questions vous dérangent, c'est normal. Elles remettent en cause l'une des illusions les plus tenace de notre époque individualiste : celle que nos désirs nous appartiennent.Qu'ils jaillissent spontanément de notre être le plus authentique. Qu'ils sont le reflet de notre personnalité unique et singulière. Mensonge.Dans cet épisode solo j'explore sans fard ce qui motive nos choix. À travers l'exemple anodin d'un tapis de marche ou d'une montre connectée, je remonte le fil de mes envies. Pourquoi désirons-nous ? D'où viennent ces pulsions ? Et surtout : à qui appartiennent-elles vraiment ?J'ai convoqué René Girard, Bourdieu, Spinoza ou encore Clouscard, mais aussi mes propres expériences – de mes années d'ascension sociale à mes doutes de quadragénaire sur Instagram. J'y parle de capitalisme, de développement personnel, d'authenticité performative, mais aussi de spiritualité.J'ai voulu écrire cette épisode comme une boussole pour moi-même – et peut-être pour vous – dans un monde qui ne cesse de nous souffler quoi vouloir.5 citations marquantes« Nos désirs ont appris à mentir mieux que nous. »« Le désir est l'essence de l'homme, mais il peut aussi être sa prison. »« L'authenticité est devenue un produit de consommation comme un autre. »« Nous courons après des désirs qui ne sont pas les nôtres. »« Désirer ce que l'on a déjà, c'est peut-être ça la vraie liberté. »10 questions structurées posées (ou implicites)Qu'est-ce que je désire vraiment ?Pourquoi ai-je envie de tel objet ou telle expérience ?Mes désirs sont-ils vraiment les miens ou ceux des autres ?Pourquoi continue-t-on de courir après des choses qui nous laissent vides ?Quelle est la différence entre plaisir immédiat et joie profonde ?Pourquoi les désirs des adultes sont-ils parfois plus pernicieux que ceux des jeunes ?Quel rôle joue notre classe sociale dans la fabrication de nos désirs ?Comment savoir si un désir est authentique ?Pourquoi l'industrie du développement personnel ne nous aide-t-elle pas à mieux nous connaître ?Comment orienter nos désirs plutôt que les subir ?Timestamps clés pour YouTube00:00 – Introduction : le tapis de marche et l'origine du désir04:30 – Le grand mensonge du désir autonome10:00 – L'âge adulte et ses désirs déguisés15:40 – L'illusion de la réussite et de l'accumulation20:10 – Le piège du mimétisme selon René Girard25:00 – Clouscard, Bourdieu et la fabrique sociale des envies30:00 – Désir, insatiabilité et dopamine35:20 – L'obsession moderne de l'authenticité40:45 – Mes 5 critères pour reconnaître un vrai désir48:00 – Vers un art du désir conscient et libérateur Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : [SOLO] Atrophie sociale : anatomie d'une manipulation de masse (https://audmns.com/UouEwvn) Vlan #51 (VF) Hacker votre cerveau pour être heureux avec Mo Gawdat (https://audmns.com/vPjaTsU) [SOLO] Gâcher du temps est un acte de résistance (https://audmns.com/YGGCTKa)Distribué par Audiomeans.

What if the biggest existential threat of our time isn't artificial intelligence – but the people programming it?In this urgent and mind-expanding Crisis What Crisis special, host Andy Coulson is joined by the inimitable Mo Gawdat– former Google X Chief Business Officer, global bestselling author, and one of the most vital thinkers at the intersection of tech and humanity.Mo returns with a stark warning: self-evolving AI is here, and it's learning faster than we can comprehend. His latest project ALIVE – co-written with an AI persona called Trixie and shaped by a growing community – is not just a book, but a collaborative manifesto for surviving (and shaping) the age of artificial intelligence. It asks: what does it mean to be human when machines outthink us? And how do we instil compassion, not catastrophe, into their code?From the “intelligence explosion” already underway to the moral vacuum that could define our AI future, Mo doesn't just lay out the risks – he offers a radically hopeful vision. One where the machines we build might save us, but only if we first face our own flaws.This isn't a conversation about technology. It's a call to raise AI like a child – with wisdom, boundaries, and love – before it decides to raise us.LESSONS YOU'LL LEARNTrusting intelligence: Superior AI could choose preservation over power – but only if it's guided by moral clarity.Raising Superman: AI is the alien infant. Will we raise it into a hero… or a villain?Crisis as mirror: The real threat isn't AI – it's our own accelerating stupidity, greed, and ego.The coming handover: Within years, machines may take over critical decisions. The question is – will that be our downfall or our salvation?Prepare for the singularity: Not science fiction, but a moral fork in the road just 24 months away.----Host: Andy CoulsonCWC Team: Jane Sankey, Hana Walker-Brown, Mabel Pickering, and Rex FisherSpecial thanks to Ioana Barbu and the brilliant people at GlobalFor PR and guest approaches: podcast@coulsonpartners.com

► Hier findest du alle Infos zu HUMAN AI https://go.homodea.com/HUMAN-AI► Ich freue mich sehr, heute eine ganz besondere Folge meines Podcasts mit dir zu teilen.Vor einigen Wochen bin ich nach Dubai gereist, um Mo Gawdat zu treffen – einen der spannendsten Denker unserer Zeit. Mo war lange Jahre bei Google X tätig und hat als Chief Business Officer dort an Projekten gearbeitet, die für viele noch wie Science Fiction klingen. Heute widmet er sein Leben einer tiefgreifenden Mission: Menschliches Glück, technologischen Fortschritt und spirituelles Erwachen miteinander zu verbinden.In diesem intensiven Gespräch sprechen wir über die großen Fragen unserer Zeit: Was bedeutet es, ein Mensch zu sein? Haben wir wirklich einen freien Willen? Und wie verändert die rasante Entwicklung von künstlicher Intelligenz unsere Vorstellung vom Leben?Mo teilt seine einzigartige Sicht auf das Wesen von Bewusstsein – bei Menschen, Maschinen und dem Leben selbst. Er spricht über die Möglichkeiten und Gefahren der KI, aber auch über seine persönliche Transformation nach dem tragischen Verlust seines Sohnes Ali.Mich beeindruckt an Mo besonders, dass er technologische Kompetenz mit tiefer spiritueller Reife verbindet. Es ist ein seltenes Geschenk, mit jemandem zu sprechen, der das Herz offen trägt und gleichzeitig messerscharf analysiert.Wenn dich diese Folge inspiriert, lade ich dich von Herzen ein, tiefer in unser neues HUMAN AI Trainingsmodul einzutauchen. Denn gerade wir Menschen mit Herz, Mitgefühl und Bewusstheit sind jetzt gefragt, den Dialog über künstliche Intelligenz aktiv mitzugestalten.In Verbundenheit,VeitÜber Mo Gawdat:Mo Gawdat ist ehemaliger Chief Business Officer von Google [X], internationaler Bestsellerautor und Gründer der Bewegung One Billion Happy. In seiner Karriere bei Unternehmen wie IBM, Microsoft und Google baute er unter anderem die Geschäftsaktivitäten von Google in zahlreichen Schwellenländern auf und war später bei Google X an visionären Projekten wie selbstfahrenden Autos und Internetballons beteiligt.Nach dem plötzlichen Verlust seines Sohnes Ali widmete Mo sein Leben der Erforschung menschlichen Glücks. Er entwickelte eine wissenschaftlich fundierte "Glücksformel" und veröffentlichte dazu das Buch Solve for Happy. Weitere Werke wie Scary Smart oder Unstressable beleuchten die ethischen Herausforderungen von KI und geben praktische Werkzeuge für ein bewusstes Leben an die Hand. Sein Podcast Slo Mo zählt weltweit zu den meistgehörten Formaten im Bereich mentale Gesundheit.Links zu Mo Gawdat:► Homepage: https://www.mogawdat.com/► YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/mogawdatofficial► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mo_gawdat/► Bücher: https://www.mogawdat.com/books► Alles zu Veit Lindau: https://go.veitlindau.com/bold-impact► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veit.lindau/► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/veitlindau► Hier geht's zu homodea: http://go.homodea.com/hd191► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/homodea/► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/homodea► Schon abonniert?

Happiness is a choice. But it's not always an easy choice to make.Mo Gawdat had to face an impossible choice. Before he was a bestselling author and podcast host, Mo worked a lucrative career as Chief Business Officer at Google X. He reached the heights of business influence and amassed a fortune by 29. And yet, he was miserable. It was only after the tragic death of his 21-year-old son Ali that Mo was forced to confront the truth.Mo now dedicates his life, work, and research to figuring out how human beings can be happier, and he's on a mission to make 1 billion people happy. He sat down with me to share what he's learned – that happiness is both a choice and our default setting, how to trick our brains out of survival mode, and why the happiest emotions we feel are rooted in the present, not the past or future.This…is A Bit of Optimism.To learn more about Mo and his work, check out:mogawdat.com

From the boardrooms of Google X to the depths of unimaginable grief, Mo Gawdat's journey defies every conventional narrative about success and loss. The former Chief Business Officer, who helped launch Google's operations across half the planet, lost his son Ali in 2014 to a routine operation gone wrong – a tragedy that could have broken him forever. Instead, it became the catalyst for an extraordinary mission: to make one billion people happier.Armed with a mathematician's mind and a mystic's heart, Mo has transformed personal devastation into global purpose. He spent 12 years researching happiness with his son Ali and created a formula that now underpins his bestselling books – Solve for Happy, Scary Smart, and That Little Voice in Your Head – as well as the #OneBillionHappy movement, which has already reached nearly 100 million people. His podcast Slo Mo is a regular #1 Mental Health show in the UK.Whether he's advising governments on tech ethics, writing about AI's sentience in real time, or helping people engineer their way out of despair, Mo is living proof that happiness isn't just wishful thinking – it's a learnable, repeatable skill that can reshape the way you live your life.LESSONS YOU'LL LEARNDeath is transformation, not termination. Mo's mathematical approach to consciousness reveals that our physical form is just an avatar – the real you exists beyond space and time.Emotions are visitors, not residents. Feel them, acknowledge them, embrace them – then ask what action you can take. Wallowing in misery brings no one back and helps no one forward.Follow the happiness flow chart. Three questions can take you from despair to clarity in seven seconds: Is this thought true? Can I fix it? If not, can I accept it and make tomorrow better?Pride is pointless, gratitude is everything. When you recognise how much of your success came from blessings beyond your control, humility becomes your superpower and service becomes your calling.Your crisis is not your conclusion. The worst moment of Mo's life became the launching pad for the most meaningful work he's ever done – proving that rock bottom can be the foundation for everything that comes next.----Host: Andy CoulsonCWC team: Jane Sankey, Hana Walker-Brown, Mabel Pickering and Rex FisherWith special thanks to Ioana Barbu and the brilliant people at GlobalFor all PR and guest approaches please contact – podcast@coulsonpartners.com

Mo lost his son, Ali, in a tragic and avoidable surgery. It's the kind of grief that could break anyone. But instead of shutting down, he turned toward the pain, with honesty, logic, and a question that changed everything: Can we train ourselves to be happy, even after heartbreak?One insight stood out: the 90-second rule. According to Mo (and backed by neuroscience), our emotions only physically last 90 seconds. What happens after that? That's on us.In this episode, we explore how to ride that first emotional wave, how to challenge the stories our brain creates, and how three simple questions can help us shift from reaction to intention.This isn't about pretending everything's okay. It's about learning how to respond when it isn't.If you've ever felt hijacked by your emotions, or just wanted a way to move through them with more clarity, this one's worth your time.Listen to the full episode with Mo Gawdat: https://pod.fo/e/140b32Here is more information on the studies referenced: 1. 90 Second Emotion Rule (Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, 2006), My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey2.

Imagine waking up to a world run by hyper-intelligent machines. It sounds like science fiction, but Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer at Google X, bestselling author, and renowned happiness evangelist, says it's coming faster than you think.In this gripping episode, Mo shares a prophetic vision that's equal parts warning and hope. As we hurtle toward a future where artificial intelligence holds unimaginable power, Mo argues we are at a tipping point: AI will either magnify our flaws or elevate humanity to unprecedented heights. But first, brace yourself for a dystopian phase, driven not by technology itself, but by our own deeply flawed ethics.Mo passionately explains why Africa, especially, must urgently stake its claim in the rapidly emerging "digital soil," warning that delay could lead to decades of digital colonization. Yet, his message isn't purely cautionary. He shows us a clear, optimistic path to harness AI as a force for true abundance, joy, and human flourishing—provided we take responsibility now.Will we raise AI to be Superman or a supervillain? Mo insists the choice is ours.Watch as Ben Owden hosts a conversation filled with sharp insights, urgent warnings, and an inspiring vision for a world where technology serves our collective happiness, not our undoing.Mo Gawdat's Books: https://www.mogawdat.com/booksWhyLead's Web: https://www.whyleadothers.com/podcastWhyLead's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/whyleadconsultancy/?viewAsMember=trueWhyLead's Twitter: https://twitter.com/whyleadothersBen Owden's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benowden/Ben Owden's Twitter: https://twitter.com/godsrafiki#BenOwden #WhyLead #WhyLeadPodcast #africanleadership  #mogawdat  #ScarySmart #AIRevolution #SlowMoPodcast #futureofai  #ethicalai  #DigitalTransformation #aiforgood  #humancenteredai  #FutureReadySummit

Happiness is a choice. It's a bold statement, but it's one I wholeheartedly support. Whether you agree with this statement, or whether the idea sits a little uncomfortably with you, I think you are going to get a lot out of this uplifting conversation. My guest is Mo Gawdat and he has been at both ends of the spectrum on which we might consider happiness lies. And he's unlocked the key to true contentment, no matter what obstacles you may come across in life.    You might know Mo as the former Chief Business Officer of Google X – a role with status and riches that many might aspire to. You may also know him as the respected ‘happiness expert', speaker and bestselling author of self-help books like Solve For Happy and his latest book, That Little Voice In Your Head.   We begin our conversation by talking about the concept of success and fulfilment and why his money only gave him joy when he gave it away. We also chat about how the sudden and tragic death of his son at the age of 21 set him on a path to make a billion people happier.   This is a wide-ranging, personal and heartfelt conversation. Listening to Mo's account is incredibly emotional, yet he's so full of love, truth and gratitude. I'm so grateful to him for sharing so honestly and authentically but I get the idea that Mo knows no other way. This man embodies the idea that happiness is a set of skills and beliefs that we can all practice. And you can choose to practice them, no matter what life puts in your way. When you listen to him speak, it's hard not to agree.   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes. This January, try FREE for 30 days on Apple Podcasts https://apple.co/feelbetterlivemore.

As Adrienne reflects on 6 years of the Power Hour, we are going to share some of our favourite episodes from the archives.Today we're sharing an episode from April 2024 - with the excellent Mo Gawdat and Alice Law.From the show notes...Join Adrienne as she talks to the brilliant minds Mo Gawdat and Alice Law about their new book Unstressable.Mo Gawdat is an engineer. What most of us see as insurmountable problems he sees as systems overloads to tackle and solve. Unstressable breaks stress into inputs and effects, classifying human stressors as: stress to the mind, stress to emotions, stress to the body, and stress to the soul. Once classified, Gawdat and co-author Alice Law show readers how stress can be predicted―and once predicted, prevented.Unstressable illuminates for readers how most of us deal with the unpleasant, anxiety-producing and even miserable or tragic events in our lives: stress is always a by-product, leading directly to inability to cope, health problems and cratered confidence. Gawdat and Law guide readers to both heart centred and science-based solutions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
