The Algebra Of Happiness 

It could be that you’re striving for success or love. Or maybe you’re at the point in your life where you’re searching for meaning in what you do and who you are. You want to live a fulfilled life and you want to find happiness.

The book, The Algebra ofHappiness: Notes on the Pursuit of Success, Love, and Meaning, can give you the advice that you need to find happiness and meaning in the important areas of your life.

The book teaches you how to understand failures, whether they come from yourself or from your family history. You’ll learn how to see those you look up to through the lens of understanding.

Using a witty bite-sized teaching style, the author shows you how to get what matters in life. It’s filled with takeaways such as spending time with those you care about. Expect your team members to work hard. Be a good friend.

Some of the disciplines in the book can be put into practice immediately to improve, not just your personal life, but your professional one as well. The author instructs readers to do certain tasks and explains the outcome of what happened in his personal life when he failed to heed that advice.

He imparts the wisdom of working hard and how that’s the barometer for building success. The book is a no-excuse method of helping you to land on the winning side of life.

Not only does the book teach you what to do to achieve success, but it warns you what not to do as well. The book is filled with life strategy steps that can show you not just how to have a career, but to have the one that you want - one that’s greater than the financial success that you originally imagined.

You’ll also learn why having a balance between your working life and your private life is important and how to obtain that. Challenges and successes are taught in four sections of the book.

The first section covers the formula for happiness and what your equation for that formula would be. In the second section, the book covers success from the viewpoint of looking at ambition, money and your career.

The third part of the book deals with love and relationships. It advises the younger generation how to see and find meaning in their personal and professional life. The fourth section of the book presents the possibility of happiness and explains that it’s your decisions that impact your life - especially when you’re young.

For example, if you work hard when you’re younger to take care of yourself physically, you’ll have a better, happier life. Reading the book will inspire you to gain a new perspective and help you understand the direction where you really want to go in life.
