Book excerpt: In this “powerful personal story woven with a rich analysis of what we all seek” (Sergey Brin, cofounder of Google), Mo Gawdat, Chief Business Officer at Google’s [X], applies his superior logic and problem solving skills to understand how the brain processes joy and sadness—and 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What would your life look like if you were living at 100% of your full potential?" That was the question posed to author, international speaker, and former high school principal Adnan Jalali in 2013. His honest answer at the time was..."I have absolutely no idea!" Back then, he was living his life just like everyone else day-by-day. And that simple question shook him to his core. Each of us wants to live great lives, but how many of us actually are? How many of us are 'doing okay'? Well, screw just "okay"! You have this life given to you. It's a blessing. And all you are doing with it is 'okay'? For 6 months, Adnan thought long and hard about where he found himself and developed a picture of what his 100% would look like in all areas of life including: career, finance, spirituality, health, relationships, and even the bucket list of all the fun things he wanted to do. First, he visualized it. Then, he started chasing his 100% and he never looked back! Chasing 100 is a blueprint to reverse engineer your best life from the real-life lessons Adnan learned on his incredible journey. In the summer of 2014, Adnan left a very secure career and sought to chase his 100. He moved to a new continent where he didn't know anyone or even the language. He realized that the world doesn't give you what you want, it gives you who you are. Chasing 100 will teach you how to: - have the right mindset - be highly emotionally intelligent - be spiritually strong - be physically fit - overcome your doubts, fears, and your ego This book is for you if you believe: - "I don't want to have decent relationships, I want GREAT relationships!" - "I don't want to make decent money, I want to make LOTS of money!" - "I don't want to be in decent shape, I want to be in FANTASTIC shape!" - "I don't want to have a decent career, I want to have an AMAZING career!" - "I don't want to only have 2 weeks of vacation time a year, I want to travel as often as possible!" In other words... - "I WANT IT ALL & I WILL NOT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS!!!" Once you master the 7 steps in this book, you will create whatever life you want to live! Chasing 100 is different from other self-help books in that it's the most complete and in-depth personal development book out there. It's a book that will still be relevant in 100 or even 1,000 years because it's about how to get the most out of our lives as human beings. Adnan Jalali dives into topics that most others won't touch because it's not popular to do so. He truly believes that living a great life, our best one, comes from what we have deep inside our minds, hearts, and souls. Our lives become what we want them to become once we learn how to develop and manifest that internal beauty, strength, and power that lies inside of us all. This book is for you if you are ready to create the life you've always dreamed of living...and Chase YOUR 100! What Others Are Saying: "I recommend Chasing 100 to professionals at every stage of self-development. If you are interested in achieving at your highest levels, this is the book for you." - John Abraham, CEO at Great Feats "Great book! If you have any desire to reach your full potential, you need to grab this book now." - Lamar Cannon, President of SixFund Private Equity "If you plan on ever being a Jedi, then Adnan Jalali is your Yoda." - Zuhair Sha'ath, Teacher and Youth Counselor
