Publisher Description
Professor and “de facto global therapist” to an ever-growing audience of hundreds of thousands of people builds on national bestseller The Parasitic Mind to argue that happiness is not merely a changeable mood but a process toward which we can strive by following some basic steps that have been known to humans for millennia.
Happiness is a fact
It is a scientific fact, which means we can measure it, we can assess it, and we can devise strategies to make ourselves happy and fulfilled human beings.
Or so says, Professor Gad Saad, author of the sensational national bestseller The Parasitic Mind and popular host of The Saad Truth podcast. Professor Saad roams through the scientific studies, the wisdom of ancient philosophy and religion, and his extraordinary personal experience as a refugee from war-torn Lebanon turned academic celebrity to provide one of the most provocative, helpful, and entertaining listens you are likely to encounter.
In The Saad Truth about Happiness you’ll learn the secrets to living the good life, including:
how to live the life you want—not necessarily the life expected of you,
why resilience is a key to happiness,
why your career needs to have a higher purpose than a paycheck,
how variety truly can be the spice of life,
why marriage is so important,
how Aristotle had it right when he preached moderation, and
why you should take a hint from your dog and realize that playfulness equals happiness.
Enlightening, bold, and good-humored, The Saad Truth about Happiness is as lively, stimulating, and captivating as its author, who has become a “de facto global therapist” to an ever-growing audience of hundreds of thousands of people. Listen to this book and you’ll see why so many seek his counsel.
Customer Reviews
Enjoyable, Informative, Wise
A thoughtful book that combines well-researched points with life experiences and wisdom gleaned by the author throughout his life. The personal stories added flavour to information that otherwise could have been presented dryly. I liked the meandering journey that still brought home the points he wanted to make, along with sides of spiciness and dashes of professionalism too.
Side note: I bought this audiobook after listening to Joe’s podcast where Gad was invited to discuss the book and mostly other topics were discussed. I so wanted to hear what Gad had to share, so I bought the audiobook immediately after listening to the podcast :)
I do wish you read the book yourself, Gad. Here’s to hoping you do modify that contract before signing next time! Thank you for sharing your work, your wisdom and your heart.
