Description

Professor and “de facto global therapist” to an ever-growing audience of hundreds of thousands of people builds on national bestseller The Parasitic Mind to argue that happiness is not merely a changeable mood but a process toward which we can strive by following some basic steps that have been known to humans for millennia.

Happiness is a fact

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

Or so says, Professor Gad Saad, author of the sensational national bestseller The Parasitic Mind and popular host of The Saad Truth podcast. Professor Saad roams through the scientific studies, the wisdom of ancient philosophy and religion, and his extraordinary personal experience as a refugee from war-torn Lebanon turned academic celebrity to provide one of the most provocative, helpful, and entertaining listens you are likely to encounter.

In The Saad Truth about Happiness you’ll learn the secrets to living the good life, including:

  • how to live the life you want—not 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,
  • how variety truly can be the spice of life,
  • why marriage is so important,
  • how Aristotle had it right when he preached moderation, and
  • why you should take a hint from your dog and realize that playfulness equals happiness.

Enlightening, bold, and good-humored, 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. Listen to this book and you’ll see why so many seek his counsel.

Needed the Gadfather’s voice.

Good book.

Gad should have read it himself.

Good advice and worth the time. Recommended.

Potential of being a helpful book if the guy wasn’t such a narcissist

I normally don’t write reviews, and I was initially quite excited about this book, but the authors narcissism drove me nuts. Overall the content of the book is good, and Saad covers some helpful topics BUT does every example need to be about him and how he has mastered life? The arrogance underneath many of his illustrations was actually nauseating a times. I kind of understand where he is coming from in being excited about life and wanting to share how he’s experienced what he’s teaching, but seriously man. Learn to share and celebrate the stories of others rather than just yours. Share areas where you’ve failed maybe? In short - I actually think Mr Saad has some undiagnosed narcissism and needs a good old dose of humble pie. If you can do that - I think your writing will go much further (even though you’re apparently VERY successful as you mentioned a billion times)

Should have been read by Gaad not this lame ass narrator. It would have been WAY better read by the author.

Peaceful and Hopeful

I have enjoyed this audiobook greatly. It was a peaceful, hopeful and loving listen. We can all get where we need to be in life, if we work on it. I was already a strong proponent of seeking peace in life. As peace can be converted into happiness. Pursuit of happiness was really never my thing, as I found those words hollow in description. I admire Gad Saad's linguistic talent and wit. I follow him on X and he brings me joy and laughter every day. His love for his wife is present in his tweets and in this book. Finding the right partner is THE MOST important thing in life in my opinion. I find too many young people abstain from seeking relationships all together nowadays and I am worried that our society will suffer for it greatly in the future. 222 Gadfather, you give me daily dose of hope and I appreciate you and your beautiful wife every day. And if anyone is reading this review, please get the Parasitic Mind too to unlearn all the nonsense that Marxists and virtual signalers are trying to feed you. You will lead a happier more authentic life.

Should have read the book himself.

I noticed the negative reviews are mostly personal attacks that thinly disguise the reviewer’s likely woke world view.
Saad is admittedly not that humble but he is usually right.
Well worth the listen.

Disappointing considering his other books

Considering the brilliance of the author, this is not a very good book. Flimsy & scattered at worst. Obvious and mediocre at best. Endless self congratulatory stories of the author that he offers as 'proof' of his obvious, common sense ideas.

The entire book is easily summed up as, the author is better than you and "do everything in moderation" (with no definitive idea of what moderation means).

Skip this, read his other works.

I agree completely with @Baigle’s review

I feel like this book was just a bunch of random stories of the author and all of his life accolades. Not organized well, and no obvious advice on living that happy life. Darn. Had high hopes.

Personal opinions that become facts

I did not finish this book. I couldn't stand the author's personal opinions on politics presented as facts.
I don't recommend this book unless you want to hear how privileged people are happier.
