Summary
Focusing on both tangible pleasures and simple experiences, Pasricha provides a contemporary take on everyday inspiration that skips the typical Chicken Soup for the Soul fare: "When you push the button for the elevator and it's already there," ("Ding!"); "When the boss goes out of town" ("Who's up for a three-hour lunch?"); "Peeling that thin plastic film off new electronics" ("Welcome to the world, remote control"). Other items get more substantial discussions, including the other side of the pillow, old playground equipment, hotel lobby bathrooms, the last day of school, and the five-second rule. Though tongue-in-cheek, Pasricha emerges a committed but inviting optimist, combating life's unending stream of bad news by identifying opportunities to "share a universal high five with humanity."

"What's the formula for a happy life? Neil Pasricha is a Harvard MBA, Walmart Executive, New York Times bestselling author, husband and dad. After selling over a million copies of THE BOOK OF AWESOME series, he now shifts his focus from observation to application. In THE HAPPINESS EQUATION, Neil illustrates how to want nothing, do anything, and have everything. If that sounds like a contradiction, you simply haven't unlocked the 9 Secrets to Happiness. Each secret takes a common ideal, flips it on its head, and casts it in a completely new light. Neil then goes a step further by providing step-by-step guidelines and hand-drawn scribbles that illustrate exactly how to apply each secret to live a happier life today. Controversial? Maybe. Counterintuitive? Definitely. THE HAPPINESS EQUATION will teach you: · Why success doesn't lead to happiness · How to make more money than a Harvard MBA · The Saturday Morning Test, The Bench Test, and The Five People Test · Why multitasking is a myth ·
