Live Well Be Well with Sarah Ann Macklin | Health, Lifestyle, Nutrition Mo Gawdat: Stop Stress from Dominating Your Life
If you search ‘Mo Gawdat’ online, the most popular result that appears time and time again is ‘AI is going to kill us’. As the former Chief Business Officer of Google’s innovation lab, Google X, where they work on new ideas such as self-driving cars and robots, Mo had a deep insight into what the future could hold.
But this is just one side of Mo. He is also the author of the bestselling book, Solve For Happy, which he wrote after discovering the equation for permanent happiness. And his follow-up book, Unstressable, shows us that chronic stress is a predictable and preventable part of modern life.
In this conversation, we discuss the essence of what makes us human. From parenting to fitting in, Mo shares his personal insights about how we can move beyond the conventional definitions of success and happiness, to something more profound and accessible.
This is such an impactful and emotional conversation which will help you to not only understand how to stop stress taking over, but also uncover the secret weapon in navigating modern society’s challenges.
