Summary
The #1 international bestseller from the author of The Book of Awesome that “reveals how all of us can live happier lives” (Gretchen Rubin).
 
What is the formula for a happy life? Neil Pasricha is a Harvard MBA, a New York Times–bestselling author, a Walmart executive, a father, a husband. After selling more than a million copies of the Book of Awesome series, wherein he observed the everyday things he thought were awesome, he now shifts his focus to the practicalities of living an awesome life.

In his new book The Happiness Equation, Pasricha illustrates how to want nothing and do anything in order to have everything. If that sounds like a contradiction in terms, you simply have yet to unlock the 9 Secrets to Happiness. Each secret takes a piece out of the core of common sense, turns it on its head to present it in a completely new light, and then provides practical and specific guidelines for how to apply this new outlook to lead a fulfilling life.

Once you've unlocked Pasricha’s 9 Secrets, you will understand counter intuitive concepts such as: Success Does Not Lead to Happiness, Never Take Advice, and Retirement Is a Broken Theory. You will learn and then master three brand-new fundamental life tests: the Saturday Morning Test, The Bench Test, and the Five People Test. You will know the difference between external goals and internal goals and how to make more money than a Harvard MBA (hint: it has nothing to do with your annual salary). You will discover that true wealth has nothing to do with money, multitasking is a myth, and the elimination of options leads to more choice.

The Happiness Equation is a book that will change how you think about pretty much everything—your time, your career, your relationships, your family, and, ultimately, of course, your happiness.

This book made me cringe sooo much so many of his ideas are simple minded. Even though the principles he refers to are « true » the applications are unrealistic

The things I liked... 1. The quotes. 2. The what do you do on Saturday when you have nothing to do. The Bench Test 3. The 5 people Test 4. Writing Down 5 Gratitudes 5. What is my Iki-Gai 6. The 3 Step Of Self Acceptance 7. Decide always to be happy first 8. Attitude is everything 9. Do random acts of Kindness 10. Meditation, time to self, just be still and breath 2 minutes a day is all we need. ( I do this several times a day just because I need to) 11. To remember in all that I do, work, service, or giving someone my time do it with All Of My Heart. 12. Technology Break 13. When Facing a challenge try it out for short times and then gradually add more time to it until it is a habit and things I do unconsciously. 14. Agreeing to Disagree is not a bad thing. Accepting each other's differences is so much better. This is a great book thank you for having it here.

Simple. Engaging. Humorous. And thought provoking. This book has allowed me to pause and review my stance on values and confidence. I appreciate the analogies and anecdotes that deepen the understanding of the material. Highly recommend.
