Solve for Happy<\/a> is a startlingly original book about creating and maintaining happiness, written by a top Google executive Mo Gawdat<\/a> with an engineer’s training and fondness for thoroughly analyzing a problem.<\/p>\n

One of Solve for Happy’s key premises is that happiness is a default state. If we shape expectations to acknowledge the full range of possible events, unhappiness is on its way to being defeated. To steer clear of unhappiness traps, we must dispel the six illusions that cloud our thinking (e.g., the illusion of time, of control, and of fear); overcome the brain’s seven deadly defects (e.g., the tendency to exaggerate, label, and filter), and embrace five ultimate truths (e.g., change is real, now is real, unconditional love is real).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[1461,1437],"class_list":["post-8763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","tag-formula","tag-happiness"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8763"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8763\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8766,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8763\/revisions\/8766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ivetakrajcirova.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
