What’s the formula for a happy life? Neil Pasricha is a Harvard MBA, a Walmart executive, a New York Times–bestselling author, and a husband and dad. After selling more than a million copies of his Book of Awesome series (in which he observed the everyday things in life that were awesome), he now shifts his focus from observation to application. In his new book, The Happiness Equation, he shares how to want nothing, do anything, and have everything. If that sounds like a contradiction, you simply haven’t unlocked the “9 Secrets to Happiness.” Each secret takes a common ideal, flips it on its head, and casts it in a completely new light. Pasricha then shows how to apply each secret to live a happier life today. Controversial? Maybe. Counterintuitive? Definitely.
