The Saad Truth About Happiness

8 Secrets for Leading the Good Life
Book • 2024
In this book, Professor Gad Saad explores the concept of happiness as a scientific fact that can be measured and achieved through specific strategies.

He draws on scientific studies, ancient philosophies, and his personal experiences as a refugee from war-torn Lebanon to provide eight secrets for leading a good life.

These secrets include living the life you want, the importance of resilience, having a career with a higher purpose than just a paycheck, the value of variety and playfulness, and the significance of choosing the right spouse.

Saad argues that happiness is not a deliberate pursuit but rather a by-product of making sound decisions and adopting the right mindset, citing examples from his own life and the wisdom of philosophers like Aristotle and Viktor Frankl.
