The Saad Truth about Happiness: 8 Secrets for Leading the Good Life by Gad Saad

The Quest for Happiness Is a Universal Fact.

It is a scientific fact, which means we can measure happiness, we can assess it, and we can devise strategies to make ourselves happy and fulfilled human beings.

So says Professor Gad Saad, the author of the sensational bestseller The Parasitic Mind and the irrepressible host of The Saad Truth podcast. In this provocative, entertaining, and life-changing new book, he roams through the scientific studies, culls the wisdom of ancient philosophy and religion, and draws on his extraordinary personal experience as a refugee from war-torn Lebanon turned academic celebrity.

In The Saad Truth about Happiness youll learn the secrets to living the good life, including:
How to live the life you wantnot necessarily the life expected of you
Why resilience is a key to happiness
Why your career needs to have a higher purpose than a paycheck
Why variety truly can be the spice of life
Why choosing the right spouse is so important
Why Aristotle had it right when he preached moderation
Why you should take a hint from your dog and realize that playfulness equals happiness

The Saad Truth about Happiness is as lively, stimulating, and captivating as its author, who has become a "de facto global therapist" to an ever-growing audience of hundreds of thousands of people. Read this book and youll see why so many seek his counsel.

The Saad Truth about Happiness Reviews

Praise for The Saad Truth About Happiness:

No one is better at helping us laugh at the madness of todays modern world than my dear friend, podcaster, and therapist to us all, Dr. Gad Saad. Whether using his acerbic wit to address a public absurdity or broadcasting from under his desk in mock terror as he takes on the latest fear gripping the internet, Gad leads by example in showing us how humor is key to managing stress, upset, anger, and frustration. His new book, The Saad Truth about Happiness, reveals the secrets behind his optimistic approach to life and shows us how we can be happier people too.Megyn Kelly, journalist

There is a virtual epidemic of unnecessary misery in the Western world at the present time. Much of it is the result of ideologies that stress victimization, insist on an external locus of control, and offer a borderless and unconstrained impulsive hedonism as a pathway to the good life. Professor Saadwho is, in truth, an engaging and happy personoffers a wiser alternative. Happiness is to be found, in Dr. Saads well-founded estimation, in the spirit of free play; in responsible, altruistic, reciprocal social interactions; in the sense of awe and admiration available to anyone with open eyes. The idea that structureless freedom is anything other
than the desert of the soul is harming people, young and old alike. Dr. Saad offers an alternative vision, laying out a more classic road to the good life, as is generally the case with wise people.Dr. Jordan Peterson, bestselling author

With his characteristic wit, Professor Saad has produced an invaluable guide to the pursuit of happiness. In the glut of mostly worthless self-help books, this valuable gem stands apart. Instead of fly-by-night fads and paper-thin pop psychology, this books sage and sane advice draws equally from the springs of ancient wisdom and modern science, grounding us in the eternal truths of human nature. Saad distills these sources into a winsome guide to a more flourishing life.Aaron Kheriaty, M.D., psychiatrist and director of the Bioethics and American Democracy Program at the Ethics and Public Policy Institute

Gad Saad knows that there is no magic formula for achieving happiness. But in this book he distills deep learning and practical wisdom to offer valuable insights grounded in science and experience. Written with warmth and humanity, the Saad Truth, it turns out, is a happy one.Dr. Darrin M. McMahon, professor of history at Dartmouth College and author of Happiness: A History

The Saad Truth about Happiness brims with insight into the journey we all take in life. Its engaging style and personal stories make the abstract principles vibrant. Amidst a flurry of books on happiness, Saads evolutionary lens brims with wisdom and novel light on lifes most ancient mysteryhow to live an authentic life. David M. Buss, author of The Evolution of Desire: Strategiesof Human Mating, professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, and founding member of the field of evolutionary psychology

Embedded in his own lived experiences, his work as an academic, and the occasional advice from the likes of Aristotle and Viktor Frankl, Dr. Saad delivers a tour de force that will increase the likelihood that any of us should find our way to happiness.Dr. Drew Pinsky, physician and podcaster

Evolutionary psychologist and wise man Professor Gad Saad knows how to be happy even amid controversy, turmoil, and danger. He is the epitome of a happy warrior, living up to the meaning
of his last name, Saad, which translates to happiness and prosperity in Arabic. His new book, delightfully written, searches both ancient wisdom and modern social sciences for the answer. It has
practical advice about finding the right life partner, the right job, and how to deal with failure. Ultimately, the answer Professor Saad provides lies more in the variety and depth of a persons life experiences
than in the heft of a persons wallet. Read it if you want to learn how to be happy. It is written by someone who knows! Jay Bhattacharya, M.D., Ph.D., professor of health policy at Stanford University School of Medicine
