The Algebra of Happiness

Scott is a great speaker and his experience in life is amazing, worth hearing and never gets dull.
The book is really valuable as Scott's own experience in life and his ideas and thoughts on happiness - in an abstract way somehow- feels a bit related to Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
Most important point for me is that I'm not sure if the book really affected me or my thinking somehow, hard to know really when it's about the priorities of life, worth re-reading again later.
Also to set your expectations right, this is the experience of a married man with Kids living on US, or just read the summary about his life quickly to understand his background, this is fundamental when reading anyone's experience in life.
Also to be fair as well, the book could probably be better named "Scott's reflections on Finding happiness" and still will be very cool book to read, but Scott already mentioned this quickly in the first chapter and that this is not backed by researches but this is more like his own personal experience so treat it as such.

From the New York Times bestselling author, a provocative book of hard-won wisdom for achieving a fulfilling career and life. - How can you have a meaningful career, not just a lucrative one? - Is a work/life balance really possible? - What does it take to make a long-term relationship succeed? - What can you do now so there are no regrets aged 40, 50 or 80? As Scott Galloway puts it, by the time you hit your mid twenties sh*t gets real. Life become stressful. Even the smart, the hard working and the elite can feel lost in a chaotic, noisy and unpredictable world. As a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, the debate in Galloway's MBA class often veers away from business strategy to the challenging issue of life strategies. Which is why Galloway, in his signature, take-no-prisoners style, has developed a dynamic formula for a life well lived. In The Algebra of Happiness Galloway tells you how life can be navigated and negotiated better to maximise happiness and minimise the inevitable stress. Delivering practical advice and hard-won wisdom on everything from when to own property to how hard to work, this is self-help for anyone struggling with life's big questions. Through simple equations that measure the relationship between success, resilience and failure or the correlation between happiness and money, Galloway attempts to convert intangible advice to tangible equations.

It’s allright. Pretty decent read but I don’t feel like I got a ton out of it. It felt short (a good thing) so maybe give it a read if you’re interested. If you think it’s good then great! If you don’t, you didn’t spend a lot of time reading it :)

Müəllifi Alametifarika agentliyindən Serdar Erener bir müsahibəsində (ya da talk-da) məsləhət görmüşdü. Səhv etmirəmsə, deyirdi ki, gələcəyi(sektorun gələcəyini) təxmin edə bilən adamlardandı. Uzun müddətdir bu müəllimi twitterdə də izləyirəm. Amma ki, bu kitab tamamilə şəxsi təcrübələridir deyə o qədər də maraqlı olmadı. Ailə və s. məsələlərinə toxunur ki, bu tamamilə özüylə bağlıdı və oxucuya heçnə ötürmür. Nəticə etibarilə xoşbəxtlik haqqında oxuyub xoşbəxt olmadığımız daha bir kitab.
