Book excerpt: In this “powerful personal story woven with a rich analysis of what we all seek” (Sergey Brin, cofounder of Google), Mo Gawdat, Chief Business Officer at Google’s [X], applies his superior logic and problem solving skills to understand how the brain processes joy and sadness—and then he solves for happy. In 2001 Mo Gawdat realized that despite his incredible success, he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would: examining all the provable facts and scrupulously applying logic. Eventually, his countless hours of research and science proved successful, and he discovered the equation for permanent happiness. Thirteen years later, Mo’s algorithm would be put to the ultimate test. After the sudden death of his son, Ali, Mo and his family turned to his equation—and it saved them from despair. In dealing with the horrible loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of “moonshot” goal that he and his colleagues were always aiming for—he would share his equation with the world and help as many people as possible become happier. In Solve for Happy Mo questions some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence, shares the underlying reasons for suffering, and plots out a step-by-step process for achieving lifelong happiness and enduring contentment. He shows us how to view life through a clear lens, teaching us how to dispel the illusions that cloud our thinking; overcome the brain’s blind spots; and embrace five ultimate truths. No matter what obstacles we face, what burdens we bear, what trials we’ve experienced, we can all be content with our present situation and optimistic about the future.

Book excerpt: An instant New York Times bestseller Two spiritual giants. Five days. One timeless question. Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships—or, as they would say, because of them—they are two of the most joyful people on the planet. In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create what they hoped would be a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: How do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecendented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye. We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy—from fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide the foundation for lasting happiness. Throughout, they include stories, wisdom, and science. Finally, they share their daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. The Archbishop has never claimed sainthood, and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk. In this unique collaboration, they offer us the reflection of real lives filled with pain and turmoil in the midst of which they have been able to discover a level of peace, of courage, and of joy to which we can all aspire in our own lives.

Book excerpt: Peace. Joy. Both are qualities we crave but that often seem terribly out of reach, especially when life is threatened or when the hustle and bustle of modern lives leave little room for self-reflection--let alone reflection on things bigger than ourselves, beyond our understanding.Yet, it is only in making interior space, in reflecting and contemplation, that we have any hope of discovering peace, joy, and their ultimate source. With stories, songs, poetry, and convictions borrowed from a variety of traditions, this book explores the themes of fulfillment, purpose, and meaning. As one step on a journey, it aims to help readers understand the importance of serving others by recognizing their own inherent worth, and extending their own boundaries of comfort to find true Peace and Joy.---Rev. Francesco Iacona leads retreats and preaches full-time for Cross Catholic Outreach, raising funds for food, water, shelter, spiritual nourishment, medical care, education, economic empowerment and hope for the poorest of the poor, transforming their lives and our world, and awakening the Christ in those in the pews through opening their hearts to the plight of the poor. He is a priest of the Diocese of St. George's in Grenada. A missionary of peace and joy, he loves to affirm and bring out the best in others and himself.

Book excerpt: Throughout life, we're invited to go through various levels of transformation, but many of us decide not to answer the calls. Instead, we stay in our comfy boxes where everything makes sense. In doing so, we thwart and limit our world of possibilities, and don't get a chance to move beyond our caterpillar like shells and turn into the beatiful butterfly that we are meant to be. In Path to Freedom, Nader Vasseghi reflects on his own journey of transformation and distills a practical set of insights and guideposts to help readers discover and connect to their purpose, access and bring out fullness of their creativity, and lead a life of joy, impact and abundance. The path to freedom starts with opening to and recognizing our own true self, finding our way of being and feeling at home with it, and honoring and living in alignment with our heart's deepest desires.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hearts Minds Bookstore's Best Books of 2015, Memoir Steve Hayner was serving as president of Columbia Seminary and was healthy and fit when he found out he had terminal pancreatic cancer. He and his wife, Sharol, embarked on a journey together with their children that soon included tens of thousands of visits from friends and acquaintances via the CaringBridge website. The overwhelming response to their posts on this website attested to the surprising and engaging way that they chose to live in the face of death. As a result they uncovered the remarkable truth that God, our good Shepherd, provides a feast for us when we are in the valley of the shadow of death as well as in the green pastures. Steve was always known for signing letters and emails, "joyfully." These pages, including reflections from some of those closest to Steve and Sharol, offer us a hope-filled glimpse into what it means to walk with God in honesty, with joy, even through great pain.

Book excerpt: The Path to Greatjoy is what you get when you combine a highly sought after emerging visual artist, and a writer who's also a self-actualisation coach. They've come up with a unique and impactful autobiographical art book, that is not only an account of an incredible journey to success but also a further expression of the art depicted. The centre of the book is the life story of visual artist, Greatjoy Njabulo Ndlovu, better known as Greatjoy; and how he became a popular top selling and respected artist in Johannesburg. In this book he shares his hardships, his art journey and insights. The writer, Ntsikelelo Mzibomvu, beautifully captures the positive and encouraging spirit of the artist and his art to connect the reader to the story. In addition, the book contains visuals of some of Greatjoy's post contemporary art pieces. The book was launched on 26 April 2018, when Greatjoy held his first one man show at MMArthouse in Craighall, Johannesburg South Africa. The book is effectively broken into three parts: the first part is how this book came about; the second part tells Greatjoy's story and the last part (consistent with his art and his show), is an inquiry into the difficulties that men face in modern society called 'The Alpha Male Inquiry'. It is the hope of both the artist and the writer that this book will inspire men and the greater society to take the challenges that men face seriously and to help socialise and educate our young boys differently. This is a coffee table book is a must have in your art collection.

Book excerpt: This book is meant to give someone in the process of making a life decision at any age—in early adulthood, at the point of middle-age change and later, when we find ourselves at the crossroads without a name—some ideas against which to pit their own minds, their own circumstances. Its purpose, as they wrestle with the process of trying to find and follow their own special call at this new stage of life, is to both provoke thinking and to clarify it. —Joan Chittister In our modern and mobile society, the range of answers to the questions “What am I supposed to do with my life?” and “How do I know when I’ve found my purpose?” can seem endless and overwhelming. Following the Path by Sister Joan brings the insights of her years of teaching and contemplation to bear on this issue, providing readers with a new way forward. Through her examination of spiritual calling and gifts, change and discernment, she leads readers home to the place where, finally, we know we fit, where we are the fullest of ourselves and a gift to the world, a timely and much needed message that many will be happy to hear.

Book excerpt: As a mother, a wife, and a businesswoman, Kaia Roman always had a plan. But when her biggest plan, the business she cofounded, collapsed, Kaia found herself crushed by depression. And what felt even worse was that, with a husband and two kids relying on her to get out of bed, she didn't have a plan to move forward. Determined to turn her life around and put her ingrained habits of stress and anxiety behind her, Kaia decided to put everything else on hold and dedicate thirty days to the singular pursuit of joy. The results were astonishing-and lasted much longer than the initial monthlong project. In this uplifting and eye-opening memoir, Kaia uses her business savvy to create a concrete Joy Plan to get back on her feet fast. Using scientific research on hormones, neurotransmitters, and mindfulness, along with the daily dedication to creating a more joyful existence, Kaia teaches readers how to move past temporary happiness and succeed in creating joy that lasts. Complete with advice, exercises, and key takeaways, The Joy Plan is Kaia's step-by-step guide to how she, and everyone else, can ditch the negative and plan for the joy in their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people want to be happy, but is happiness obtainable? People wish for it, work for it, and try to purchase it, but are hardly ever able to find it. However, embracing what God offers leads to finding happiness. This book, A Path to Joy: God’s Way to Live with More Happiness and Fulfillment, teaches how to have lasting joy. Lasting joy is a joy that endures every circumstance and every difficulty. The reason this happiness can withstand hardships is because it is sustained by God’s faithfulness. Even though life’s experiences are unpleasant at times, they are meant for eternal good. But God is not interested in making his people suffer. Instead, he wants humanity to learn reliance on his strength. In fact, he doesn’t expect people to have the strength to overcome trials on their own. He wants believers to trust that he will sustain them in the difficulty. And since God is faithful, he will always make a way. It is best practice to maintain trust in him and not doubt his promises. This is the path to true happiness.
