  • Is happiness a choice? And if so, can it be engineered? Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer of Google X and founder of One Billion Happy, believes this is true. In fact, he's used his three decades of success in the tech industry to engineer his very own "happiness algorithm" to help all of us achieve this mind frame.
    Gawdat began his mission to conquer happiness after experiencing the ultimate tragedy. In 2014, Mo suddenly lost his beloved son, Ali, which thrust him into depression and an existential reckoning with life's fragility. Rather than succumbing to this ultimate despair, Gawdat turned his grief into a catalyst for transformation. He soon embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery and healing, driven by a newfound mission to spread happiness and well-being to the world.
    Drawing from his personal experience and extensive research, Mo has authored the international bestseller "Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy” and continues to champion his message of happiness to millions worldwide. Via his writing, speaking engagements, and podcast, Gawdat offers practical tools and strategies for finding joy in the face of adversity.Mo's commitment to spreading happiness has touched millions of lives. He continues to inspire people from all walks of life to embrace happiness as a fundamental choice, as well as empower them to engineer their own paths to fulfillment.
    Tony and Sage Robbins are excited to share this special presentation from a 2022 private event with their Platinum Partners in Mexico. Let Mo Gawdat’s poignant insights help you create your own happiness journey today!

It's weird Mo I also worked at Microsoft as a PFE from 2008 to 2018 - everything changed for me too in a good way.

    Mo Gawdat's message resonates deeply! His perspective on happiness as an internal state rather than a result of external events is a paradigm shift.

    Thank you for this. I appreciate learning about happiness or any life lessons from someone who is winning at life, and who has had to deal with tremendous loss and hardships.
    Having fun (dopamine hits) to escape the unhappiness is something we see quite often in the world. I'm glad you mentioned this and help steer us on the right path.
    Also, the Netflix analogy of "Unhappiness on demand" with replaying bad memories is so true (and funny).

      During an out of body experience this “ego” you refer to can think and speak to other intelligent beings the same way as in normal life. You need to practice astral projection to truly understand what you are talking about. The ego is as much a part of your soul as your subconscious.

    Impressive insight! Gawdat's message is crucial for families. Encourage open communication, share your experiences, and demonstrate the behaviors you wish your children to adopt. Highlighting positive growth and ensuring they feel understood without judgment is key. Also, creating an environment where they can freely express their feelings without fear is vital. Remember, they learn more from what you do than what you say.

    "Your Happiness is not a result of the events of your life... Your happiness is a result of a comparison between what the event is and what you want the event to be."

Let's aim to align our reality with our desires without letting the gap dictate our contentment.

    There is no need to be sad or disappointed in life, and you have more choices about whether you are happy or not.❤❤

    It's not always easy but you can choose to look for the positive and create your own happiness.

    You need to have:
    1. Enough money to pay your bills. You are presumably not living in a field and eating grass.
    2. Your physical and mental health.
    Then the happiness discussion begins.
