The Algebra of Happiness

Notes on the Pursuit of Success, Love, and Meaning

De: Scott Galloway

Narrado por: Scott Galloway

An unconventional audiobook of wisdom and life advice from renowned business school professor and New York Times best-selling author of The Four Scott Galloway.

Scott Galloway teaches brand strategy at NYU's Stern School of Business, but his most popular lectures deal with life strategy, not business. In the classroom, on his blog, and in YouTube videos garnering millions of views, he regularly offers hard-hitting answers to the big questions: What's the formula for a life well lived? How can you have a meaningful career, not just a lucrative one? Is work/life balance possible? What are the elements of a successful relationship?

The Algebra of Happiness: Notes on the Pursuit of Success, Love, and Meaning draws on Professor Galloway's mix of anecdotes and no-BS insight to share hard-won wisdom about life's challenges, along with poignant personal stories.

Whether it's advice on if you should drop out of school to be an entrepreneur (it might have worked for Steve Jobs, but you're probably not Steve Jobs), ideas on how to position yourself in a crowded job market (do something "boring" and move to a city; passion is for people who are already rich), discovering what the most important decision in your life is (it's not your job, your car, or your zip code), or arguing that our relationships to others are ultimately all that matter, Galloway entertains, inspires, and provokes.

Brash, funny, and surprisingly moving, The Algebra of Happiness represents a refreshing perspective on our need for both professional success and personal fulfillment and makes the perfect gift for any new graduate or for anyone who feels adrift.

"[A] lovely short book, which is likely to be a graduation and holiday gift for years to come." (Barry Ritholtz, Bloomberg)

Persistence and perspective anchored in our humorous reality.

A simple message; Experience life with those you love, admire, and respect.

Oh, and enjoy the ride, grime, joy, and all.

Perfect

I didn't think that it was possible for me to love Scott Galloway anymore, but there you go. Eloquent, smart, honest, and vulnerable - I appreciated every minute of this audiobook.

Great reminder for staying on track of your life

It is really difficult to disagree with Scott. Happiness is a combination of hard work, balance and the quality of relationships.

Brilliant and Funny

I enjoyed this more than than I could have imagined. The truisms sprinkled with witty commentary. Loved it.

An absolute gem!

I really enjoyed this audiobook. I found Scott Galloway’s perspective on life very candid, authentic, and insightful. I appreciate the personal experiences that were shared and found Scott’s life story and viewpoints highly relatable. I definitely recommend!

Honest and refreshing

Scott nails what is most important. Reflection on flaws and what real joys can bring.

Frank advice from a flawed but thoughtful person.

The author is not perfect. He doesn’t claim to be. What is his experience and his story shares that experience with the reader . Often funny and inspiring. It is not a good few shoes tale

Algebra of Wealth is the better version of this

I first read Galloway's "Algebra of Wealth" and really enjoyed it. So much so, that I have given copies of it to my nephews and recommended it to several friends. This book is light on content and it doesn't give me the impression that Scott is in a position to write this... yet. He truly understood the equation of the first book and has the "success" to prove it. As someone who used to identify with some of Scott's hurdles to happiness directly, I think he could benefit from some EQ development in order to balance his (his words) workaholism and panic attacks. Happiness is subjective of course, so I hope this isn't perceived as arrogant. I think he could be better at being happy before writing a book about how to be happy.

Best audiobook in years!

I can’t even say how many self improvement audiobooks I’ve listened to over the years. Countless. This is by far the best. The perspective this book has shed on my life has been priceless. If you have small kids this is a must listen! Wow.

Something I will listen to multiple times

Quick, witty, and advice as it should be (with full disclosure of blind spots and shortcomings).

Scott in his candor and acceptance of fallibility comes off as incredibly genuine and I appreciated that.
