Neil Pasricha

A New York Times best-selling author invites readers to take a close look at their work lives and life priorities and to decide what is truly important to them and explains what they can do to get exactly what they want.

Want Nothing + Do Anything

The Happiness Equation

It’s not necessarily the reality that shapes us but the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality.

None of us can control our emotions. We can only control our reactions to our emotions.

One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree.

“Where do you want to go?” was his response.

“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.

We don’t actually want to do nothing. We just want to do something we love.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

I’m quite happy I didn’t scroll down on the Reviews page until after I’ve finished the book. I do this way too often and then I only see how the others see. This book wasn’t quite what I thought it would be, but better. I don’t know what else to write— it was good, got lots of good advice from it (that i will hear, and then decide what to do with hehe).

What’s the formula for a happy life? Neil Pasricha is a Harvard MBA, a Walmart executive, a New York Times–bestselling author, and a husband and dad. After selling more than a million copies of his Book of Awesome series, he now shifts his focus from observation to application. In The Happiness Equation, Pasricha illustrates how to want nothing, do anything, and have everything. If that sounds like a contradiction, you simply haven’t unlocked the 9 Secrets to Happiness. Each secret takes a common ideal, flips it on its head, and casts it in a completely new light. Pasricha then goes a step further by providing step-by-step guidelines and hand-drawn scribbles that illustrate exactly how to apply each secret to live a happier life today. Controversial? Maybe. Counterintuitive? Definitely. The Happiness Equation will teach you such principles as: · Why success doesn’t lead to happiness · How to make more money than a Harvard MBA · Why multitasking is a myth · How eliminating options leads to more choice
