Revisited: Your Unhappy Brain Needs Some Assistance with Happiness Expert Mo Gawdat

Can you share some of the things that you've learned about this happiness practice? If you understand that your default setting is happy, then there is nothing you need to bring from outside you to find happiness. You need to remove shit to be happy.

It's a removal process, not an adding process. And there is a reason for it. So good. Being happy is a choice, but that doesn't mean it's an easy choice. Mo Gaudat had to face that choice under the most excruciating of circumstances, after the tragic death of his 21-year-old son Ali.
