Publisher Description

An unconventional book of wisdom and life advice from renowned business school professor and New York Times bestselling author of The Four Scott Galloway.

Scott Galloway teaches brand strategy at NYU's Stern School of Business, but his most popular lectures deal with life strategy, not business. In the classroom, on his blog, and in YouTube videos garnering millions of views, he regularly offers hard-hitting answers to the big questions: What's the formula for a life well lived? How can you have a meaningful career, not just a lucrative one? Is work/life balance possible? What are the elements of a successful relationship?

The Algebra of Happiness: Notes on the Pursuit of Success, Love, and Meaning draws on Professor Galloway's mix of anecdotes and no-BS insight to share hard-won wisdom about life's challenges, along with poignant personal stories.

Whether it's advice on if you should drop out of school to be an entrepreneur (it might have worked for Steve Jobs, but you're probably not Steve Jobs), ideas on how to position yourself in a crowded job market (do something "boring" and move to a city; passion is for people who are already rich), discovering what the most important decision in your life is (it's not your job, your car, OR your zip code), or arguing that our relationships to others are ultimately all that matter, Galloway entertains, inspires, and provokes.

Brash, funny, and surprisingly moving, The Algebra of Happiness represents a refreshing perspective on our need for both professional success and personal fulfillment, and makes the perfect gift for any new graduate, or for anyone who feels adrift.

Good Reminder

Simple and focused. Stick to what matters in life, namely relationships.

I enjoyed this book even more than the authors former - The Four. This had more heart and read like a diary about insights on life.

This made me a better mom

This book was not only poignant and informative but hysterically funny and heartbreaking too. It’s not meant to be a guide to better parenting but it made me a better mom, and human. The honesty and self-deprecating nature of his storytelling is both refreshing and inspiring. I listened to this as I was falling asleep and feared waking my husband because I was laughing uncontrollably. This is an excellent book to read and to give as a gift to grads, dads, friends etc. Highly recommend!!!

This book is for anyone and everyone, relatable in so many aspects, good self-help book and amazingly motivating for someone who might be struggling with anxiety of the past and future.
