A lifelong learner; he attacked the problem as an engineer would; examining all the provable facts and scrupulously following logic. When he was finished; he had discovered the equation for enduring happiness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTen years later; that research saved him from despair when his college-aged son; Ali - also intellectually gifted - died during routine surgery. In dealing with the loss; Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of 'moonshot' that he and his Google [X] colleagues were always aiming for: he would help ten million people become happier by pouring his happiness principles into a book and spreading its message around the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of Solve for Happy's key premises is that happiness is a default state. If we shape expectations to acknowledge the full range of possible events; unhappiness is on its way to being defeated. To steer clear of unhappiness traps; we must dispel the six illusions that cloud our thinking (e.g.; the illusion of time; of control; and of fear); overcome the brain's seven deadly defects (e.g.; the tendency to exaggerate; label; and filter); and embrace five ultimate truths (e.g.; change is real; now is real; unconditional love is real). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy means of several highly original thought experiments; Mo helps readers find enduring contentment by questioning some of the most fundamental aspects of their existence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bluebird","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31712199180403,"sku":"SNW6122","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/6482\/6995\/files\/81pZ-vligdL._SL1500__2.jpg?v=1778841928","url":"https:\/\/www.books4people.co.uk\/products\/mo-gawdat-solve-for-happy-9936","provider":"books4people","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
