Happiness is an Equation according to Mo Gawdat

Can happiness be taught?


According to this week's podcast guest, Mo Gawdat, it can!


“It’s not the events that make you happy in life, it’s
the comparison that happens inside your head between the event
and your expectation of the event.”


Mo Gawdat is the former Chief Business Officer of Google X; host
of the popular podcast, Slo Mo, author of the international
bestselling books Solve for Happy and Scary Smart; and founder of
One Billion Happy.


After a 30 year career in tech and serving as Chief Business
Officer at Google X (Google's 'moonshot factory' of
innovation)  Mo has made happiness his primary topic of
research, diving deeply into literature and conversing on the
topic with some of the wisest people in the world.


Motivated by the tragic loss of his son, Ali, Mo began pouring
his findings into his international bestselling book, Solve for
Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy. His mission to help one billion
people become happier, #OneBillionHappy, is his moonshot attempt
to honor Ali by spreading the message that happiness can be
learned and shared to one billion people.


“If a parent only wish is happiness for their children
than why aren’t we teaching it in school?” 


According to Mo, happiness is an equation, and gratitude is the
ultimate expression that can remind us to be happy.


“You are the one that is setting your expectation. You
are the one interpreting the event a certain way, therefore you
are in control of your own happiness.”
