Is happiness a choice? And if so, can it be engineered? Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer of Google X and founder of One Billion Happy, believes this is true. In fact, he’s used his three decades of success in the tech industry to engineer his very own “happiness algorithm” to help all of us achieve this mind frame.
Gawdat began his mission to conquer happiness after experiencing the ultimate tragedy. In 2014, Mo suddenly lost his beloved son, Ali, which thrust him into depression and an existential reckoning with life’s fragility. Rather than succumbing to this ultimate despair, Gawdat turned his grief into a catalyst for transformation. He soon embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery and healing, driven by a newfound mission to spread happiness and well-being to the world.
Drawing from his personal experience and extensive research, Mo has authored the international bestseller “Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy” and continues to champion his message of happiness to millions worldwide. Via his writing, speaking engagements, and podcast, Gawdat offers practical tools and strategies for finding joy in the face of adversity.Mo’s commitment to spreading happiness has touched millions of lives. He continues to inspire people from all walks of life to embrace happiness as a fundamental choice, as well as empower them to engineer their own paths to fulfillment.
Tony and Sage Robbins are excited to share this special presentation from a 2022 private event with their Platinum Partners in Mexico. Let Mo Gawdat’s poignant insights help you create your own happiness journey today!

Tony and Sage,I would like to thank both of you .This has touched my heart .Thank you Mo for your awesome story.It has really changed my way of thinking about happiness.Love this,yes be happy 😊❤!
It's not always easy but you can choose to look for the positive and create your own happiness.
I have a big problem.
I constantly achieve new goals. But it's difficult for me to reward myself. Because I find all rewards are normal like reading a book, travelling,buying new stuff.
I don't know how I can do to reward myself and really appreciate it
Please help me
Hey Sage 😊❤!
This was Absolutely Superb on so many levels! My 33 year old Son transitioned to GOD in 2019, and this sharing was On Point! Thank you.
I agree with everything except meditation part i can do breathing exercises but I can’t do the Aum and imagining lights coming through me cuz that is Hindu religion worshipping Shiva and Brahman and another god i forgot the name but if you only google what Aum means it will explain that as per imagining lights coming through chakras and so it was called by scientists as sudo science and alot of masters in this from 20 years ago came to realize that it was all unity with spirits or some said demons I don’t know why this is very important to tony as he s christian and at the same time practicing different religion .. i enjoyed UPW but I couldn’t do the priming part it’s against my belief im not against hinduism or any other religion but i believe that religion can’t be mixed together or i will be a hypocrite, i want to go to Fiji for life and wealth mastery but im worried about this part I don’t want to feel different from all people there when I don’t practice Yoga and meditation part
I love everything else really practical things and patterns and thoughts but i feel that we should respect our beliefs and religion if we had one !
U were happy as a child
Can you be happy with very little money??
Nice noice to see bro Mo again. Thxz . Sending a sculpture to you two🌆
But whoever turns away from My Remembrance will certainly have a miserable life, then We will raise them up blind on the Day of Judgment. [Qur'an 20:124]
Without God and developing a connection with Him you will have a miserable life; human is both spirit and body. The body needs nourishment and physical pleasures; but the spirit needs a relationship/connection with it's Creator.
cant trust someone who isn't in shape and healthy
You need to have:
1. Enough money to pay your bills. You are presumably not living in a field and eating grass.
2. Your physical and mental health.
Then the happiness discussion begins.
3:36 respect X mo 🥹🙏🥰🤩💎♊️💖
