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.

My Top 5 FREE Recipes to Support Stress
When Dave Schmelzer first started exploring contemplative spirituality, he had a hard time finding teachers who would get pragmatic in the "just do this, and then do this, and then do this, and here's what you should discover" sense. Mo Gawdat has written a bestselling guide along those lines called Solve for Happy. Dave walks us through Gawdat's pathway to get moving.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger explains the idea of solving for happiness. Solving for happiness as a concept has gained increasing attention in recent years. It involves identifying factors that contribute to our well-being and taking action to cultivate more of these things in our daily lives. Cindy shares how to go about ensuring this happiness. We spend a significant portion of our lives at work or working so the quality of our professional lives can have an impact on our overall happiness. In the stress and challenge of the work environment, it gets hard to remain positive. But if we're happy at work, we'll experience improved health and performance. We will never be happy every single moment at work, that's not realistic, but it's important to identify all the factors, not just pay, that contribute to our happiness and ensure they're present.Cindy identifies all the factors that can affect job satisfaction, positively and negatively, and encourages us to assess our workplaces to ensure they are aligned with our values. Happiness is largely something cultivated within which is why solving for happiness involves self-assessment and intentionally promoting the things that fulfill us. Cindy offers six tips for creating happiness in our careers and reminds us to take charge of our own happiness.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Solving For HappinessAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

My guest today is one that I waited to meet for a very long time - Ella Mills. If you're from the United Kingdom you will know her from her brand Deliciously Ella, which became incredibly successful as I started to interact with the UK as Solve For Happy was published. At that time, she had an incredibly famous and popular podcast that she cleverly decided to put on hold for a while - I wanted to be on that podcast so now she is on mine. Ella is a very successful businesswoman, she is a beautiful brand for healthy eating, and she is truly a representation of what she tells the world in many ways, but more importantly, hopefully, if you dig deeper below the brand you will see an incredible story of vulnerability, of success, of perseverance resilience and of living true to her feminine I would say - one my heroes - I hope you will enjoy this as much as I will. Ella was diagnosed with postural tachycardia syndrome while still at university. This led her to research other people's experiences of relieving the symptoms of this rare diagnosis and she discovered that turning to a plant-based diet could be the key to her health. With little experience in cooking Ella began to experiment with recipes and started to keep an online diary that would later become her impressively popular blog, Deliciously Ella. Her blog has had over 130 million hits, she also set up social media accounts to inspire a larger community and is now hosting supper clubs and cooking classes. Her small personal project soon led to the creation of her own mobile app which landed at the top of the Food and Drink charts on the UK App Store as well as the publishing of her own cookbook which became the Best-Selling Debut Cookbook ever in the UK. Taking the idea to a whole new level, Ella and her husband have opened a few delis around central London. They have also launched their own product range, also titled Deliciously Ella which includes breakfast cereals, energy balls and oat bars.

Mo Gawdat experienced the ultimate trauma for any parent when he lost his son. As a response to his grief and in an effort to dicover the joy of life after his son's passing Mo used his skills as an engineer to formulate an equation that would make happiness replicable. His equation factors in life's illusions, blindspots and fundamental truths to help us arrive at or solve for happiness.

Sadness happens to all of us, but in much of the world we don't know how to handle it. Let alone talk about it. Having spent 10 years researching into happiness worldwide as a journalist and author, I began to notice that many of the people I met were so obsessed with the pursuit of happiness that they were phobic of feeling sad. As was I. So why are we so bad at ‘sad'? How is there still shame around expressing vulnerability? And are there some any ‘good' things about being sad? I couldn't find anywhere people were having these kinds of conversations - so I started my own. Each episode, I'm joined by a special guest sharing their own experiences of how to be sad, well with insightful and surprisingly uplifting stories of lives lived. Here are some of the highlights so far, ahead of series five, launching next week: - From S3E8 with Kate Bowler, NYT bestselling author and Duke history professor on being diagnosed with colon cancer at just 35 years old, navigating life with the knowledge it could end any moment, ‘emotional tourism', bucket lists and why Kate won't be making one. TW: cancer - From S1E7 with Yomi Adegoke, award-winning journalist and bestselling co-author of Slay In Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible on how being sad and expressing grief can be political and the perils of performing our emotions online. - From S4E1 with Emily Dean, author of Everyone Died So I Got A Dog, radio presenter and podcaster on family roles and the different pressures these bring. - From S4E2 where bestselling author Mitch Albom shares a little known story about how the bestseller Tuesdays With Morrie came about. - From S3E5 with Dr Julie Smith, clinical psychologist and former NHS turned TikTok star and author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? on what happens when we push emotions away, how the stakes get higher the longer we stay in ‘the trap', and what we should be doing instead. - From S2E5 with Jody Day, founder of Gateway Women, the global support network for childless women on unhelpful cultural ideas around not having children, disenfranchised grief and how to heal it. TW: grief, childlessness not by choice, IVF - From S4E1 with Emily Dean, on how to support someone who's grieving. TW: sibling bereavement - From S1E4 with Mo Gawdat, Solve For Happy author, tech entrepreneur and former chief business officer for Google X on how life is like a video game (and this is A Good Thing). TW: losing a child - From S4E2 Mitch Albom on the pain of losing his daughter and the impact this had on his marriage. Plus why happiness isn't a guarantee: it's a gift that can help us to be sad, better. TW: losing a child You can find all the books we talk about on the How To Be Sad podcast recommends page at Bookshop.org where you can also find the book, How To Be Sad, now in paperback. Keep in touch @MsHelenRussell and subscribe to join us next time. Because remember: we're all in this together.
TRIGGER WARNING: early in the episode we talk about a termination for medical reasons of a much wanted pregnancy and there is discussion of another bereavement.Susan Mathew and I discuss Mo Gawdat's Solve for Happy and explore the happiness equation. Among other things we explore whether the right self help book at the wrong time can be a thing, lessons we have both learned from this book and whether recommending bibliotherapy books to patients is something we should be doing more often.We talk about totems, happy lists, time out and little strategies we can implement in our day to day lives to boost happinessSusan also refers to the brilliant book The Chimp Paradox by Steve Peters which can be found here https://chimpmanagement.com/books-by-professor-steve-peters/the-chimp-paradox/

“What can I do to make a rich man fall in love with me and take care of me and solve all of my problems even if I don't do anything myself?” -- one of a few questions often heard by our host Keshia Rice from women who believe in this popular concept in social media nowadays known as hypergamy. People always keep on looking for that one thing that is going to solve all of their life problems. They keep on chasing for that one thing that completes them to become happy. To some, it is in the form of money. Others are searching for happiness in the form of a healthy and loving relationship. But the big question is… Is there really such a thing? Well, host Keshia Rice believes that no one thing can completely change your life around. In this podcast episode, Keshia puts so much emphasis on the idea of solving for happy. She believes that when you are solving for happy, you are trying to create a peaceful life rather than a perfect life. Get to know the difference between high-value men and high-earning men in this episode. Understand why host Keshia finds a lot of mistakes in this concept of hypergamy that is often talked about by feminine energy coaches in social media. On the other side, check out what aspects of hypergamy she agrees with. How to solve for happy? Find out in this podcast episode.

LinkedIn in 15 Minutes with Ashley Leeds Do you think you could master LinkedIn in 15 Minutes? Ashley Leeds joins The Next 100 Days Podcast to share how he is helping people get results from spending just a quarter of an hour on LinkedIn. You may currently spend less time than this, or in some cases more. Whichever, you'll pick up some great tips from Ashley in this podcast. What Got Ashley into LinkedIn? Many of us added nothing more than a CV right at the beginning. Presumably hoping that someone would notice how fabulous you were and offer you a much better job than you'd got already! Ring a bell? http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/What-Got-You-into-LinkedIn.mp4 How has your use of LinkedIn evolved? The buyer often knows far more than the sales person. Graham experience this recently in a car showroom, whilst looking at a new electrically powered car. Can you fit a tow bar? No shouts a sales guy, not directly involved in our conversation. You mean, this branded pdf from the same company is wrong then? It was embarrassing, but not for Graham. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/How-has-it-changed.mp4 Ashley says nowadays the buyer knows far more than the seller. It is imperative that you have a strong social media presence. Because you'll be researched! Ashley's LinkedIn in 15 Minutes Workshop starts at 8.45am UK time The idea is to think of these 15 minutes as a business networking thing. If you want to get something out of a business networking meeting, you'll want to pinpoint the people who you feel can benefit your business. Just start talking. Not selling stuff, just nattering. The objective is to start developing friendships so you become front of mind. That's what we should be doing when we are on LinkedIn. You need to bring your personality over. Ashley recommends you overshare a bit. Would you say or do something in a real life situation? Why not do the same in a LinkedIn setting? Two Good Examples in Graham's Network of LinkedIn Stars! If you want your photo taken by Tova, try here. And if you want to lose weight, listen to Kerrie on this podcast or contact her here. What's the Story behind Full Cup Coaching? Ashley's business is called Full Cup Coaching. Here's his logo... As a musician, with a happy disposition, he wrote a song called Full Cup. Including the words YOU GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN. Ashley tells the story of Mo Gawdat, former business chief at Google X, who bought 2 Rolls Royce cars one evening. Turns out it didn't make him happy. His story is captured in his book Solve For Happy. Click image to buy the book. LinkedIn in 15 Minutes - What Does it Feel Like? The brain copes better when it learns in shorter sessions. So, Ashley breaks down his training sessions into BITE SIZE chunks. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/LinkedIn-in-15-Minutes.mp4 Kevin made the point that all social media creates rabbit holes. Ashley recommends you comment on the posts of people you follow. So identify your market. Follow them. Comment on their posts. So who shouts and screams a lot in your industry. What is SSI? It is a score that Ashley suggests you want to get to 75 out of 100.When you get over 75, that's when the stuff you create in LinkedIn gets more notifications. Hit this link to get your LinkedIn SSI score: Get your score free But don't focus on these numbers. It is a barometer to give you a measure your improvements on the platform. You also need to be in the Top 1% in your industry. Only 3m of the 760m on LinkedIn are active. How to establish your professional brand OK, be honest, how does your LinkedIn profile look right now? http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Establish-Your-Professional-Brand.mp4 Graham's Daughter in Law Takes Pre-Natal and Post-Natal Photos If you or someone you know is about to give birth AND you live in the North of England,

Mo is the former Chief Business Officer of Google X, he is a serial entrepreneur and author of the book "Solve for Happy", which we are going to dive deep into today.

His story first became apparent to me when I was watching Channel 4 news, shortly after the tragic passing of his son, Ali. Mo's attitude towards happiness, joyfulness, and his willingness to share these thoughts and concepts was something that really struck me. Mo's big moonshot is to reach 1billion people and make them happier, so I really hope that we can share that today.

How can we be happy, really happy, without wanting to have all the money in the world, all the luxuries or aiming towards the perfect life shown on TV and Ads. And how can we live our life like if today was our last day on earth. Mo Gawdat, author of the book "Solve for Happy" shares with us a happinesses equation that can change your life forever.
Learn key takeaways from one of the most powerful books Matt has read in the last five years. https://bit.ly/3cmr2y3
Mo Gawdat of Solve For Happy is a tech entrepreneur, engineer, and former chief business officer for Google X - the “moonshot” factory tackling the world's toughest problems in innovative ways. Mo reached a place early in life where he was extremely successful, yet deeply unhappy. He set about solving this, developing an equation for happiness. But this was put to the ultimate test in 2014 when Mo's beloved son Ali died unexpectedly. During the grief that followed, Mo channelled his heartbreak in an unlikely way – by writing about his happy-algorithm. Here, Mo talks to Helen about: How an algorithm for happiness helped him handle his sadness Why being happy doesn't mean never experiencing pain – and loss is part of life Differentiating between ‘sadness' and ‘unhappiness' The usefulness of fear and loneliness How everything is good and bad What other cultures can teach us about sadness The link between technology and unhappiness The power of unconditional love …and why ‘life is a game – we just have to play it'. Trigger: bereavement (Sidebar: if it sounds as though Helen's choking up at one point, that's because she is. Speaking to Mo can do that, in a good way. Goal for 2021: make it through a chat with Mo without welling up…) Find out more about Mo's equation for happiness and follow Mo on Twitter , Instagram and YouTube.

Today's guest is Dr. Bruce Greyson, discussing one of my all time favorite topics: near-death experiences.Bruce is the Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia. His interest in near-death experiences (NDE's) began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body.That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals. He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), an organization to support and promote research into these experiences. Through his research, he has discovered common and universal themes in near-death experiences that go beyond neurophysiological or cultural interpretations, as well as patterns of consistent aftereffects on individuals’ attitudes, beliefs, values, and personalities.He is the author of the newly released After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond, a fantastic book I recommend.Listen as we discuss:Bruce's new book, After, and the decades of research behind itGrowing up in a materialist household without consideration of the non-physicalThe incredible story of how he came to believe in and begin researching NDE'sHow do you measure near death experiences scientifically?The characteristics and definition of near-death experiences.Getting the brain out of the way can actually lead to clearer thinking."The brain is the messenger and interpreter of the mind."The senses and mind only let in the signals we need for survival, not spirituality.Multiple cases of how patients leave their bodies and see verifiable truthsLife review and meeting deceased love ones, even those they didn't know died.The complete elimination of the fear of death is the main after effect of a NDE.The evidence points to the physical world not being the whole story.Instagram: @mo_gawdatFacebook: @mo.gawdat.officialTwitter: @mgawdatLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatConnect with Dr. Bruce Greyson on Facebook and his website, brucegreyson.com.Don't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Monday and Thursday.

Lawali Life Podcast with Alice Law | Comebacks from Stress & Loss
In this episode Alice is joined by Mo Gawdat. Mo is the former Chief Business Officer for Google [X], a serial entrepreneur and author of Solve for Happy. In this episode they talk all about how our need to control causes our suffering, what losing Mo's son Ali has surprisingly given him in return, universal laws and concepts, how we truly know so little and so much more. Mo has an impressive combined career of 27 years, starting at IBM Egypt as a Systems Engineer before moving to a sales role in the government sector. Venturing in to the UAE, Mo joined NCR Abu Dhabi to cover the non-finance sector. He then became acquainted with the consumer goods industry as Regional Manager of BAT. At Microsoft he assumed various roles over a span of seven and a half years, in his last role at Microsoft he headed the Communications Sector across Emerging Markets worldwide. Mo joined Google in 2007 to kick-start its business in Emerging Markets. He is fascinated by the role that technology plays in empowering people in emerging communities and has dedicated years of his career towards that passion. Over a period of 6 years, Mo started close to half of Google's operations worldwide. In 2013 he moved to Google's infamous innovation arm, Google [X] where he led the business strategy, planning, sales, business development and partnerships. [X] does not attempt to achieve incremental improvements in the way the world works, but instead, it tries to develop new technologies that will reinvent the way things are and deliver a radical, ten fold—10X—improvement. This leads to seemingly SciFi ideas such as: Project Loon, which aims to use high-altitude balloons to provide affordable internet access to the 5 billion people on every square inch of our planet, Project Makani, aiming to revolutionize wind energy generation using autonomous carbon fiber kites as well as Self driving cars, Google Life Sciences, and many more. The business team under Mo's leadership has designed innovative business models analogous to the disruptive technologies [X] creates, and has created deep partnerships and global deals that enabled [X] to thrive and build products fit for the real world. Alongside his career, Mo remained a serial entrepreneur who has cofounded more than 20 businesses in fields such as health and fitness, food and beverage and real estate. He served as a board member in several technology, health and fitness and consumer goods companies as well as several government technology and innovation boards in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. He mentors tens of start-ups at any point in time. Mo Gawdat is the author of “Solve for Happy: Engineering Your Path to Joy” (2017).

Then he solves for happy.
At the age of sixteen, Dr. Edith Eger, a trained ballet dancer and gymnast, was sent to Auschwitz. Hours after her parents were sent to the gas chamber, the “Angel of Death,” Nazi officer Dr. Josef Mengele forced Edith to dance for his amusement and her survival. He rewarded her with a loaf of bread that she shared with her fellow prisoners, an act of generosity that would later save her life.On May 4, 1945 a young American soldier noticed Edith's hand moving slightly amongst a number of dead bodies. He quickly summoned medical help and brought her back from the brink of death. Today, Edith is a prolific author, a clinical psychologist, and holds a faculty appointment at the University of California, San Diego.Decades after her nightmare at Auschwitz, Edith went back. Realizing that the biggest concentration camp is in fact in our minds, it became clear to her that she was only the obvious victim of the Holocaust. The perpetrators of the horrors at Auschwitz and other camps, in her view, may be even bigger victims, as they're the ones who ended having to live in a prison in their own minds, one that numbed them to compassion and love. Once again, despite her traumas, Edith ended up on the high road, a place from which she inspires all of us to do the same. This is a must-listen.In Part 2, we discuss:The biggest concentration camp is in your own mindWhy she decided back to Auschwitz Feeling pity and sympathy for the Nazis that imprisoned herHow the isolation of Covid-19 is a good time to examine your lifeMake peace with your parents and your past, or stay a prisoner of itDon’t stuff grief, just scream it outFear and love do not co-existEvolving vs. Revolving The positive side of trauma: "You realize you're here now, and no longer there"How I want nothing more than to cook for Edith!Conflict between Palestinians and Israelis, and my own Middle Eastern upbringing"There is a Hitler in all of us"How her daughter teamed up with the grandson of a Nazi to spread peace"People killed my parents, not God. He had nothing to do with it."Edith's amazing series of questions for me, which opened me up tooHer advice to young women: become financially and emotionally independentHer suicidal thoughts after being liberated, realizing her parents aren't coming backHer time with Martin Luther King and the Mamas and the Papas (how cool is that?)Discussing the passing of my son Ali: "There is no loss.

Listening to what happened to her and her family at Auschwitz is unimaginably heartbreaking. And yet, taking in Edith's words on how she moved past the pain both during and after the heinous events, showing almost impossible levels of compassion for her inmates while herself starving, and later forgiving the evils of her captors, hit me like a spiritual experience. I love this woman, and this may just be the most powerful episode of our podcast yet.In Part 1, we discuss:How Edith's mom praised Edith's brains as making up for her lack of beauty (not true)Taking care of her mom as child, giving her stronger inner resources and patienceRevisiting our childhoods and healing the painHow she forgave the Nazis who joked about her mother burning That we are not born with hate, but learn itEdith's plea to always question authority rather than blindly adhere to itThe true enemy: ignorance"The spirit never dies."How we do everything with feelings, except feel them!The healing power of cryingThe argument that America is ripe for fascismThe effects of telling a lie and repeating it on a societyHow she danced for the Angel of Death and shared her reward with others that later saved her lifePracticing your low frustration toleranceA story of papaya and the chain of joyInstagram: @mo_gawdatFacebook: /solveforhappy, /onebillionhappyLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatConnect with Dr. Edith Eger on Facebook @dreditheger, Twitter @dreditheger1, Instagram @dr.editheger, and her website, dreditheger.comDon't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Sunday and Thursday.

Mo Gawdat is ex-chief business officer of Google [X], a serial entrepreneur and the best-selling author of Solve for Happy: Engineering Your Path to Joy (2017). Through 12 years of research on the topic of happiness, Mo created an algorithm and a repeatable well-engineered model to reach a state of uninterrupted happiness regardless of what's going on in our lives. This happiness model proved highly effective and, in 2014, was put to the ultimate test when he lost his son Ali to preventable medical error during a simple surgical procedure. Solve For Happy is the pillar for a mission Mo has committed to as his personal moonshot, a mission to deliver his happiness message to one billion people around the world, and the book has been a brilliant resource and comfort to us and to so many of our members over the past few months as global events continue to rock our worlds…
Mo Gawdat is the former Chief Business Officer at Google's [X] and the author of the amazing bestseller Solve for Happy. After decades of incredible success as a businessman that included Mo opening up almost half of Google`s offices globally, Mo found himself successful but miserable and turned to studying happiness as a way out. In 2014, his practice was put to the ultimate test when his son Ali died during a routine surgery, and Mo has dedicated his life to making people happy ever since. If you want to learn how to bring happiness into TODAY, this episode is for you! Max Out Insights: Society teaches us that life success hinges on material success, and that`s the only way to be happy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Outward success cannot produce happiness or security, because these are internal states of BEING, not end states to reach and stay at You don`t have to waste 25 years of chasing success before realizing that happiness is within you Why even 16 cars (including 2 Ferraris!) won`t make you happy The greatest joy you get from money beyond meeting your basic needs is making others happy When you give, you get back more than what you give Happiness is the optimal state of performance To be both successful and happy, set your ambitions high and your expectations low How you feel about yourself when you`re by yourself is the ultimate measure of success Max Out Quotes: “Be successful in life, but be successful for the right reason.” “Your happiness is equal to or greater than the difference between the events of your life and your hopes and expectations of how life should be. It`s that comparison that makes you happy or unhappy.” “The game is so much more interesting when it`s difficult.” “Because life is a game, what you do is you want the difficult parts.” “The only things you can control in life are your actions and your attitude.” “It`s the hardest thing ever for some of us to sit alone and meet ourselves.” “Unless you`re a serial killer, there`s no good or bad. Just who you are.” “There is no happiness that exceeds the happiness of being in the here and now, except for making another person happy.”
In this eight’ episode we have a very special guest in our podcast. His name is Mo Gawdat. After running Google’s offices in more than 50 countries, Mo served as the Chief Business Officer of Google [x] also known as “The Moonshot Factory”. At Google [x] he contributed significantly to the operation model, that is now considered as the golden standard in technology innovation around the world. But when in 2014 his 21 year old son Ali died during a routine surgery, things changed. 17 days after his death, Mo started writing about happiness, as a tribute to his beloved son, who was his happiness idol. The result was Solve For Happy, which became an international bestseller translated in 28 languages. Mo left Google in February 2018 to focus entirely on his new personal moonshot: #onebillionhappy. His dream was to start a global pandemic of joy, and spread his son’s message by doing so.

Hello. I hope you're all doing ok out there. Bit of a strange time isn't it? It can feel overwhelming to be living through a global pandemic, but there are things all of us can do - small things that can have big impact. We can stay at home and save lives. We can distance socially and help the heroic health carers working on the frontline of this disease. We can spread a little positivity. We can refuse to panic buy toilet roll. And I, at least, can make podcasts so that you can listen to them and hopefully feel a little less alone. When I was thinking of who I most wanted to hear from about how to live through this unprecedented moment in our history, there was really only one answer. It was Mo Gawdat. I originally met Mo when I interviewed him in Season 4 of the podcast. You can listen to that episode here. He told me about how he had developed a seemingly simple algorithm that enables every single person to be happy, whatever the circumstances - you can read more about that in his book Solve For Happy. Meeting Mo had a huge impact on me. I know it also helped a great many of you - at every event I do now, at least one person will come up to me to say Mo has changed their life for the better. I am so, so grateful to Mo for agreeing to come back onto the podcast to discuss how to live with anxiety and isolation in a time of Coronavirus. We talk about how to handle negative thoughts, how to practise gratitude and the concept of 'committed acceptance' which focuses on a) accepting the situation and b) within that acceptance, working out what you can actively do to make life better. He shares with us his own daily routine for self-isolation, the difference between the inevitability of pain and the choice of suffering, the wondrous abilities of the brain to come up with narratives which sometimes do not serve us and the importance of understanding the impact exercising our own free will have on others. Along the way, we argue about whether Love Actually is the best romcom of all time. I hope you enjoy the episode and that it brings you some comfort as you go about your day. Sending love to you all. * How To Fail With Elizabeth Day is hosted by Elizabeth Day, produced by Naomi Mantin and recorded, edited and mixed by Chris Sharp. We love hearing from you!

Here is part two :-) I was never big on reading books, I am slow at reading, and I take ages to digest everything I read! But with this one, it's come close to that amazing book I read called "Steve Jobs" when I was 16, even though back then I didn't understand the jargon but I was drawn to the stories experienced by Steve, he was truly an entrepreneur who was trapped and was not happy even though he had so much success. today I want to share some of those illusions with you, how you become so blinded by your own thoughts that arent even you... I know this is off the topic for MLM modern tactics, but what a better way to improve our business other than focusing on ourselves?

For the past couple of weeks, I have been diving deep into the book called "Solve for Happy" by Mo Gawdat. Truth be told, when I entered the entrepreneurial world, I thought I was happy, to take another step in life and up level my skills and mindset. Once I started ready this book, I realised I was always looking far too ahead of the future, and stopped paying attention to the present, what am I doing now? Am I happy at this moment in time? I started doing all those little steps that turned my mundane everyday life into something that's truly a bliss every day... This book has changed my attitude towards life and I want it to do the same to you too.

If one thing that human kind is constatntly seeking is happiness, then there should be enough materials on this. But Solve for happy is one of the best available material on the subject. Mo Gawdat gives a great frame work to remove unhappiness and find hapiness which is innate. Listen to this episode of Readers Guide where the over view of the book "Solve for happy" by Mo Gawdat is given.
Just occasionally in life, you meet someone who changes your way of thinking about the world. The shift might be subtle or it might be seismic, but afterwards, you are never quite the same again. This is what happened to me when my path crossed with that of Mo Gawdat who spoke to me about what it is to live a contented life in a way that had an immediate and practical impact on my outlook. Gawdat is the former chief business officer at Google X (Google's so-called 'moonshot factory' responsible for off-the-wall ideas such as self-driving cars and a balloon-powered internet) but for a long time in his life, despite having professional, personal and material success, he realised he wasn't happy. So he set about solving this problem by applying his scientific research skills to the issue: how can one individual be happy? After 12 years, he developed an algorithm for happiness, eventually arriving at an equation which states simply that happiness is greater than, or equal to, your perception of the events in your life minus your expectation of how life should be. He even wrote a book about it, Solve For Happy, which became an international bestseller. Gawdat joins me to talk about how that algorithm was put to the ultimate test when his beloved 21-year-old son Ali died in tragic circumstances. We talk about how to survive depression and grief; how happiness is like fitness; how to cope with break-ups; why social media is driving us further apart and what to do about it; why life is like a computer game; the illusion of time and why we should always, always be polite to Siri. This episode is slightly longer than normal just because I didn't want to cut any of it. I hope you take as much from Mo's words as I have.

So I will also be taking on other subjects every once in a while, first off, answering your questions that you send me and secondly what I see affecting so many people and a lot of the times even me, like in today's episode. Hopefully you enjoy this episode and most importantly take something out of it and apply it to your lives today! I have been studying happiness because what I am seeing more and more is that the internal battle is what makes us so unhealthy. We are seeing a lot more disease because of our unhealthy internal situation. There is a great book that I just got done reading that is called “Solve for Happy” by Mo Gawdat. It is a great read where he explains how each and everyone of us can return to happiness. Mo asks in his book: Why should something so basic be so hard to find?

Discovering Inner Joy: Regardless of where we are in life, happiness is possible. Whether we're struggling with negative thoughts, an unsatisfying job, or believing we're not enough, this episode is a powerful reminder that we're all worthy of self-love, joy, and an amazing life. Today is all about fighting our inner demons and discovering our purpose in the world. Together, we'll be doing some real soul searching to find out what's holding us back from the happiness we deserve. By the end of this podcast, we'll better understand how our brain, thoughts, and emotions all play a part in our wellness. A Mission for Happiness Chief Business Officer for Google [X], serial entrepreneur and author of, Solve for Happy, Mo Gawdat had an amazing career during his late twenties. He was working as a Director for a major consumer goods company which gave him a terrific salary, amazing perks, and a career ladder to climb. However, despite how wonderful his life appeared on the outside, he wasn't truly happy on the inside. When his son, Ali, unexpectedly passed away, Mo began to see life in a different light. Keeping Ali's tattoo in mind, The Gravity of Battle Means Nothing to Those at Peace, he set out to discover the perfect equation for happiness. After 12 years of research, he is sharing his Happiness Model with the rest of the world. His personal moonshot mission is to honor his son's memory and continue his legacy by making 10 million more people happy. In this powerful episode, we will discover how to end self-sabotage by comparison, what pain and suffering can teach us, why our brain never tells us the truth and why death can be our best life coach. The Happiness Model Despite the global narrative, 'I'll be happy when I have _____,' money, relationships, and possessions cannot bring us true joy. So, Mo created his own narrative, 'I feel happy when I ____.' When he changed is focus from receiving possessions to valuing what he already had, he realized that people only seem to be happy when life is going their way. When there's so much narrative coming our way, it's hard to listen to the narrative inside of us. The harder we work to achieve happiness, the deeper the hole it creates in our soul. Happiness cannot come from outside of ourselves. It truly only comes from within. With Ali as his inspiration, Mo crafted The Happiness Model to help us uncover any assumptions and doubts we have about life so that we may discover our inner joy. The Happiness Model: The 6 Grand Illusions Thought Self Fear Entitlement Knowledge Time The 7 Blind Spots Filters Assumptions Predictions Memories Labels Emotions Exaggeration The 5 Ultimate Truths Now Change Love Death Design Ending Self-Sabotage by Comparison We're all born happy and free to become whomever we want to be. We start out strong like machines, but then we begin to break down when we engage more with life. Life's expectations lead us to believe that no matter how hard we try, we're never enough. We can end up subjecting ourselves to an inner, false dialogue that we'll only be happy if we have that job, relationship, or gadget. Happiness > to your perceptions of the events in your life (-) your expectations of how life should be. With phones at our fingertips, it's easy to get lost in all of the latest images, videos, and news about other people's lives. When we compare ourselves to other people, our brain interrupts those thoughts as threats to our ego. Eventually, we're not satisfied with our lives. Rather than being happy with what we have, we end up creating new expectations for the life we think we should be living. If we don't perceive ourselves as successful, then we only see our failures. Therefore, we're only happy when life is going our way. Listen To Episode 116 As Mo Uncovers: His life in Egypt and how going to a book fair in Cairo helped nourish his hunger for learning. Why he was so interested in quantum physics and relativity as a teenager. What sparked his interest to research happiness. The reason behind why neither a career nor material possessions can make us happy. How material possessions only created a gap in his soul and what he did to fix it. Why we're all born happy, but then expectations from other people cause us to be unhappy. His equation for happiness. Why we're like machines and we begin to breakdown when we engage more with life. How Mo realized that we're only really happy when life is going our way. Why the brain is wired to use unhappiness as a survival mechanism. Events vs. Expectations - How the brain is wired to remember negative experiences for much longer than positive experiences. Why pain can sometimes be good for us. How we can train the mind to stop comparing ourselves to other people. The healing decisions he made after the death of his son, Ali. Why our brain is not the enemy because it can't see the truth when there are threats. The Happiness Model with the 6 Grand Illusions, 7 Blind Spots, and 5 Ultimate Truths. What mistake to avoid when you're following The Happiness Model. Why death is the best life coach we can have. The first step you can take in your life as soon as this episode ends. What wellness means to Mo. Top 3 Takeaways From The Show When we compare ourselves to other people, we end up self-sabotaging ourselves. As we scroll through our social media newsfeed, it's easy to get trapped by feelings of sadness, jealousy, and unfulfillment. When someone doesn't click "like," our brain is wired to see that as a threat to our ego. The truth is, there's no sense in comparing ourselves to others because someone will always be ahead of us. The mind has this incredible ability to make us suffer on demand with negative thinking. However, we have the power to stop it. As our brain presents us with negative thoughts, we can say 'No, brain. I'm not going to listen to your lies.' We may see the brain as the enemy because it doesn't tell us the truth, but that's because the brain hasn't been trained. That's where we can step in to train it. Rather than allowing our brain to view everything as a threat, we can teach it to focus on the blessings. When in self doubt, ask your brain if it's telling you the truth. This will help you train the brain to differentiate between fact and fiction. Death can be our best life coach because it's the biggest reminder that we're only here for a limited amount of time. By using life as a way to learn, achieve and develop, we can discover our purpose and ultimately our happiness. Power Quotes From Mo Gawdat [tweetthis]"People who find their happiness are the ones that make it their number one priority." - @Solveforhappy [/tweetthis] "You never get happy from outside sources. We all believe that happiness is something that we have to strive for or earn, but we really don't have to do that. Happiness comes from within ourselves." - Mo Gawdat on how happiness comes from within. "One singular material possession will never make you happy, but two can bring you constant disappointment. We tell ourselves, 'Okay, I know I'm not happy with this little gadget, but I'll be happy with the other gadget.' In the end, you rush and strive to get the other gadget, but you're still not happy. It's just a vicious cycle and you'll never find happiness in materials, wealth, or the world outside of you." - Mo Gawdat on why we'll never be satisfied from possessions. "The more disappointed you are with your ability to achieve happiness, the more you feel that there's this gap that needs to be filled." - Mo Gawdat on why we're sometimes never fully satisfied with what we have or what we've done. "Truly, happiness is inside us. When we connect with the real us, we find happiness. When we engage with the real world, we get further away from engaging with us and finding the real person that you and I are." - Mo Gawdat on why true happiness comes from within ourselves. "Life is bound to bring us some pain because it's like a video game. Video games are designed to be difficult sometimes, but that's the only way that we can become a better gamers, right? If the game was easy, it would be boring as hell and we wouldn't learn how to be better gamers. Life is truly meant to give us pain and as much as we hate it, pain can be good. Pain is good because it alerts us as to what we should do in order to survive and progress in life." - Mo Gawdat on how life is like a video game and why pain can be good. "Constant comparison will always end in vain because there will always be someone who is ahead of you. If you set out to compare yourself to the rest of the world, you will always break the happiness equation and events will never meet your expectations." - Mo Gawdat on why it's not worth the effort to always be comparing ourselves to other people. "If you find what it is that you're passionate about and you're good at it, eventually when you're ready, your purpose will find you. It's not the other way around. If you set out to search for a purpose without knowing what you're capable of, you're never going to get there." - Mo Gawdat on how we discover our purpose. "We get so engaged in life that we forget to live." - Mo Gawdat "Every emotion we've ever felt is triggered by a thought, not an event." - Mo Gawdat About Solve for Happy by 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.
