Ideal for anyone drawn to self-help, mindset coaching, or tech ethics, this set offers a coherent, thought-provoking reading journey from one of today's most respected voices in personal development and technology.
About the Books
Mo Gawdat spent years as an engineer and business leader at Google, most notably serving as Chief Business Officer of Google X, before turning his analytical mind toward happiness and technology. This collection captures three distinct stages of his thinking. That Little Voice in Your Head examines the internal dialogue that shapes daily mood, offering practical exercises to interrupt negative thought loops and build lasting self-compassion. Solve for Happy takes a more systematic approach, identifying six illusions and seven brain defects that distort our sense of reality, then presenting five ultimate truths designed to make happiness a default state rather than a rare event. Scary Smart shifts focus outward, exploring the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and arguing that the values humans model today will shape how future machines think and behave tomorrow. Together, the three books trace a throughline from inner clarity to outer responsibility, encouraging readers to master their own minds before turning attention to the wider world. Gawdat writes in a clear, conversational style that draws on data, personal experience, and hard-won lessons, including the personal loss that first inspired his search for a scientific approach to joy. This set suits readers who enjoy practical self-help, curious minds interested in where technology is heading, and anyone looking for a grounded, engineer's perspective on both happiness and the future.
