Amazon Customer: It's a touching and personal journey of taking layer after layer off to find your happy self deep inside, and then some techniques to help you manage your thoughts and behaviours to stay in this happy state. It's clearly not written by a psychology professional or researcher, but as someone who's been through therapy a few times, I think it covers pretty much what you get working with a CBT therapist. Usually, I am quite skeptical about self help books (especially written in an "I know how it works" tone), but this one somehow resonates with me. Maybe because it makes you feel as if all these thoughts and discoveries came to your mind. As if you were thinking this book, not reading it.
Resume: I do recommend giving it a go. I see no chance this book making you any harm, but there's a good chance it will plant a few positive seeds that will help you manage worries, anxiety, fears, and be happy in the end.

Heather Rison: Best book I’ve read! I love how this book is easy to read and understand from MO’s down to earth perspective on happiness.

Ian J: The world would be a much better place if everyone was to read this book. You can’t drag someone to Happiness… but this book is a very good guide.

Sumter J. Hogan Jr.: I found this book at my local library. 300+ pages is a good read for me. I usually take longer to read books, but this one was written from the heart. I've learned to "Solve for Happy" whenever my wife and I have our disagreements. We are not perfect, but this book offers tips on where bad feelings and arguments are generated. Once you recognize where the conversation is going, the book can help you navigate through tough times.

Bernida: I found this book interesting but sad. It is the story of the author’s guilt of losing his son to a medical error. I found it interesting that a multi-millionaire if not a billionaire would not seek out the best surgeon in the world to perform surgery on his son…. Rather he flies his son to their home in Dubai - at that time- for surgery so that he and his wife could take care of him there. I found this to be illogical. Why would the author not want the best surgeon in the world to perform surgery on his only son since money was no object. Why did his son have to fly to where they were and not they go to their son? This author presents three concepts of afterlife but rejects two of them for no logical reason other than his indoctrination into his religion, Islam. In Islam as long as your good deed out way your bad deeds you go to heaven. I find his crusade for # one billion happy is more of a relief for himself.. that at the time of the author’s death he can say to God, see I have done all this good, you have to let me into heaven to see my son. This now seems to be an obsession for him. I really feel that he needs to at least examine the concept of reincarnation without...

Ray Edwards: Mo is an uncommonly good writer. He’s a craftsman, and I meand this as the highest form of compliment.

He tells a story of the heartbreak of a father who stands by helpless as his son dies. A story of the hopelessness and depression that comes from such a tragedy.

And then, astonishingly, he tells the story of finidng his way abck to happiness. Not DESPITE his son’s death, but THROUGH that unimaginably painful experience.

Then, generously, he shares a method whereby we can ALL become happier. And a modest propoisal to raise the happiness quotient of the world.

Christine: Wow. I found this book to be the perfect fit for how my brain thinks, works, and processes my life and thoughts. I'm a pretty analytical and non-religious person, mostly driven by facts and data, but I also understand that as humans, facts and analysis will always have to live alongside our thoughts and emotions. Our emotions don't have to influence our rational decisions, but the two will always have to co-exist within us, and it's helpful to know when and how to separate the two.

I really like that this book could toe the line between discussing things like "facts and algorithms" (only using quotations here because the equations are about life, not science), without ignoring the emotions and sometimes unfortunate irrationality that makes us human. I really appreciate that this book addressed both sides of the coin. I also appreciate that often times, Mo would describe life in an analytical way, but because life isn't always analytical, would use softer examples to help make sense of life events that don't behave according to plan.

I've also never read something about thoughts, illusions, and self that made so much sense for how I work through things and perceive...

Ron Immink: Books about mindfulness

I have been reading a lot of books about mindfulness. The ones I remember are “The monk who sold his Ferrari”, “The here and now”, “The Tibetan book of living and dying”, “The road less travelled”, “The Celestine Prophecy”, “The Tao of Physics” and “Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East”.

Lessons fade away

They all had profound effects. However, the teachings all faded as ordinary life took over. I am in the fortunate positions that I read for a living. That exposes me to a lot of books, and particularly in the last year, there have been some cracking books on being mindful.

Mindfulness as a full business trend

There is no question about it, mindfulness is a business trend. I suspect that as a response to the fast-changing world, people are looking for a different way of making sense of what is going on. Slowing down in order to go faster.

"The code of the extraordinary mind."

My favourite book is “The code of the extraordinary mind”. It has changed my life and should be read by everyone. Once you have read that one, you should immediately pick up “Solve for...
