内容简介
······
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.

评论 ······
作者是个穆斯林工程师，在某种程度上，出于对自己早逝的儿子的思念写了这本书。我觉得前三分之二写得很好，后面就有点沉溺于自己的思念中了。可以理解，但有点过多。里面很多的概念可以和佛教结合着看。
get real and be true to yourself
我完全不同意作者对宗教和进化论的看法，但是仍旧尝试着去实践我认同的那一部分。这本书让我学会了在繁忙的日程中克服焦虑的情绪，并且开始保持比较健康的生活习惯，同时更加包容与我不同的人。
上大学的儿子假期回家手术医疗事故身故，白发人送黑发人的悲剧如此，如何平息其委屈与悲伤，主题更是到happiness，很佩服Google的这些员工，用工程师的方法论探寻内心的问题，阅读之广以及论据素材的筛选堪比Cal Newport。
虽然是背靠积极心理学，但从量子力学到《道德经》的“无为”，把孩子的离世栖息到他独立的生命历程，对噩耗的难以应对归为对死亡的恐惧，作者对happiness equat…
