I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas! As we head into 2018, I know that we all want to have our happiest and most fulfilling year to date. Today's episode is with the happiness guy, Mo Gawdat.

Mo Gawdat is the Chief Business Officer at Google's {X}. At Google, his team is responsible for exploring "moonshot" dreams like the much-lauded self-driving car and providing global internet access by using sub-orbital balloons.

For being at top of a "dream team" though, Mo realized in 2001 that he was miserably unhappy and spirits were far from sailing above clouds. So he did the one thing he knew how to do better than anything: he put his engineering experience to work and, by using data and research, he created an algorithm and "solved" happiness. 

Here Are A Few Of The Big Topics We Cover:

-Understanding the true meaning of happiness in the modern world.

-Mo's approach to dealing with adversity and tough times in your life.

-Why creators and thinkers are generally the most unhappy people in the world.

-Mo's 3 step equation for getting back to happy

and so much more!

I hope you enjoy this conversation and go into 2018 with a happy mindset.
