The Algebra of Happiness
Notes on the Pursuit of Success, Love, and Meaning
About the book
Scott Galloway's book of life advice comes from a professor whose courses at NYU's Stern School of Business cover brand strategy but whose most popular lectures concern life strategy. He addresses how to build a meaningful career rather than only a lucrative one, whether work and life can be balanced and what makes a relationship succeed. He warns that dropping out to start a company may have worked for Steve Jobs, but readers probably are not Jobs, suggests doing something boring and moving to a city, since passion is for those already rich, and argues that relationships with others are what matter most. He offers similar answers in class, on his blog and in YouTube videos with millions of views.
CD Baby founder Derek Sivers endorsed it as raw, vulnerable wisdom from which everyone can learn, and author Eric Barker praised its hard-earned life lessons.
