Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Algebra of Happiness, written and read by Scott Galloway.

From the New York Times bestselling author, a provocative book of hard-won wisdom for achieving a fulfilling career and life.


- How can you have a meaningful career, not just a lucrative one?
- Is a work/life balance really possible?
- What does it take to make a long-term relationship succeed?
- What can you do now so there are no regrets aged 40, 50 or 80?

As Scott Galloway puts it, by the time you hit your mid twenties sh*t gets real. Life become stressful. Even the smart, the hard working and the elite can feel lost in a chaotic, noisy and unpredictable world. As a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, the debate in Galloway's MBA class often veers away from business strategy to the challenging issue of life strategies. Which is why Galloway, in his signature, take-no-prisoners style, has developed a dynamic formula for a life well lived.

In The Algebra of Happiness Galloway tells you how life can be navigated and negotiated better to maximise happiness and minimise the inevitable stress. Delivering practical advice and hard-won wisdom on everything from when to own property to how hard to work, this is self-help for anyone struggling with life's big questions. Through simple equations that measure the relationship between success, resilience and failure or the correlation between happiness and money, Galloway attempts to convert intangible advice to tangible equations.

I absolutely loved this book, which I bought after seeing Professor Galloway speak at a work event. Prof G lays an out an honest view on life, happiness and success through a series of thoughtful equations. Filled with personal, candid and often tear jerking stories, this book makes you consider what in your own life really matters, and will hopefully make you a better human for perusing the ultimate goods: kindness, humility, caring for others and good manners. As a mother of a young child with a full time and full on city job i needed to read this - I will now be encouraging (forcing) my husband to do the same. Thanks for your wise words Scott.

Thought provoking book about the things that actually matter

Interesting book reminding us of the key virtues in life
However sometimes drifting a bit too much to the side
Overall a nice reading for everyone

Great, honest advice, well worth a listen a couple of times a year as a refresh.

great listen

It was interesting to listen to the author, the book is not dull, but I found it highly irrelevant to being a woman and living in Europe. This book is great if you are male and live in the USA, but not useful for anyone else. I wanted to put 3 stars, but I think it won't do justice, as the book overall, is not bad, it is just not useful/helpful/relevant to me at all.

Ok book for male American, but not for a lady
