For those of you who are as obsessed with Elizabeth Day’s ‘How to fail’ as I am, you’ll already know all about our upcoming guest. And for those who don’t, you’re in for a treat.
Today I was honoured to speak to Mo Gawdat, the former chief business officer for google ex and author of Solve for Happy where he discusses an algorithm he has created for happiness.
If his soothing voice isn’t enough to make you fall in love with him, just wait until you hear his words of wisdom. I quite literally slid into Mo’s DM’s, and after two (very flattering) messages he responded one morning at 6.30 am, I cried I was so excited.
He is now someone I have had the pleasure of getting to know , and there are no words which do him justice, this man is nothing other than a really special person. For a man that had 16 cars by the age of 29, he shares that his happiest moment was actually aged 23 when money was low but he was completely in love with his former wife.
In this episode, we talk about what it really means and takes to be happy, the pressures of being a millennial, how to really wangle your way around a dating app, and why indecisionitus is a thing. Mo- over to you.
This episode was just a fraction of the wisdom Mo is willing to offer- please go and listen to his podcast Slow Mo and download his audible book “Solve For Happy’- you won’t regret it.
