Here’s a list of all the books mentioned in this episode, complete with an Amazon buy link and quotes from the episode.
The Saad Truth about Happiness
Buy on Amazon"In the last chapter of my happiness book, I quote Victor Frankl, who says that pursuing success should not be the primary aim, but rather a consequence of making the right decisions. I suggest swapping 'success' with 'happiness' in that quote, as that's exactly my perspective."
The Saad Truth about Happiness
Buy on Amazon"I discuss how choosing the right spouse and profession can lead to immense happiness or misery in my book. There's much detail involved in making those choices, but I also talk about approaching life with a playful mindset."
The Saad Truth about Happiness
Buy on Amazon"I talk about mindset shifts that can help prevent these types of regrets in my book. The divide today reflects a broader societal mindset: between those who feel victimized versus those who are empowered to take action with purpose."
The Saad Truth about Happiness
Buy on Amazon"In contrast, the stories I’ve shared about those two men in my book have energized students, showing them that it’s possible to achieve incredible things, no matter your age. Biden’s attitude is the exact opposite; he’s telling a generation that they’re victims stuck in an oppressive system, and that’s nauseating."
The Saad Truth about Happiness
Buy on Amazon"That’s a good segue to my book, where I explore the connection between political orientation and happiness. Research consistently shows that conservatives score higher in happiness than liberals or progressives."
