About this listen

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.

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

Shocked by one huge contradiction in Scottj's thinking. He paints the harrowing scene where his Mum is struck by cancer and her treatment options are few because she/he wasn't loaded at the time or had no Doctor friends. Then at other points refers to the luck of being born in the best postcode in the world the USA. The USA seems like a great place to become a billionaire but in the best postcodes in the world secretaries can receive the same health care as billionaires.

USA is a strange set up

I was toying with the idea of reading the book vs listening to it... glad I went for the latter. Hearing the author going through it made me feel both inspired and emotional.

One to listen in in one day

Scott is a fantastic narrator. I've learned a few good things and made note of a couple of mantras that made sense to me. There's a lot about kids, family and caring for others that I cannot fully relate to, but still worth the time to learn from his experience. Scott made a good impression on me so I'm off to check out his other work :)

Enjoyable but not everyone will relate
