Mo Gawdat starts the book by talking about how seventeen days after the death of his son, Ali, he began to write and couldn’t stop. His topic was happiness—an unlikely subject given the circumstances.
Mo talks about his childhood and how despite his incredible success as an adult, 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.
Mo’s happiness model proved highly effective. And, in 2014, was put to the ultimate test when Mo lost his son Ali to preventable medical error during a simple surgical procedure. Solve For Happy is the pillar for a mission Mo has committed to as his personal moonshot, a mission to deliver his happiness message to 10 million people around the world.
Reception
Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google sums up the book as: “ A powerful personal story woven with a rich analysis of what we all seek in a way we can act upon.”
