À propos de cet audio
Professor and “de facto global therapist” to an ever-growing audience of hundreds of thousands of people builds on national bestseller The Parasitic Mind to argue that happiness is not merely a changeable mood but a process toward which we can strive by following some basic steps that have been known to humans for millennia.
Happiness is a fact
It is a scientific fact, which means we can measure it, we can assess it, and we can devise strategies to make ourselves happy and fulfilled human beings.
Or so says, Professor Gad Saad, author of the sensational national bestseller The Parasitic Mind and popular host of The Saad Truth podcast. Professor Saad roams through the scientific studies, the wisdom of ancient philosophy and religion, and his extraordinary personal experience as a refugee from war-torn Lebanon turned academic celebrity to provide one of the most provocative, helpful, and entertaining listens you are likely to encounter.
In The Saad Truth about Happiness you’ll learn the secrets to living the good life, including:
- how to live the life you want—not necessarily the life expected of you,
- why resilience is a key to happiness,
- why your career needs to have a higher purpose than a paycheck,
- how variety truly can be the spice of life,
- why marriage is so important,
- how Aristotle had it right when he preached moderation, and
- why you should take a hint from your dog and realize that playfulness equals happiness.
Enlightening, bold, and good-humored, The Saad Truth about Happiness is as lively, stimulating, and captivating as its author, who has become a “de facto global therapist” to an ever-growing audience of hundreds of thousands of people. Listen to this book and you’ll see why so many seek his counsel.

In this highly informative and entertaining book, the founder of the vibrant new field of evolutionary consumption illuminates the relevance of our biological heritage to our daily lives as consumers. While culture is important, the author shows that innate evolutionary forces deeply influence the foods we eat, the gifts we offer, the cosmetics and clothing styles we choose to make ourselves more attractive to potential mates, and even the cultural products that stimulate our imaginations (such as art, music, and religion).

Histoire
The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed.

Anyone opposed was sent to be “re-educated.” China’s revolution was bloody, fast, and a failure, but what if America started a revolution at the same time, based on the same bad ideas, and it’s just been slower, calmer, and more effective?

Do you think mainstream America needs to find its voice? If so, you’re not alone. The country is under attack by extremists at the fringes who put ideology before sanity and stoke division for their own gain. They are trying to rob America of its common sense and deny empirical truths, and we’re all suffering the consequences.

Hardship is now equated with victimhood. Outward displays of vulnerability in defeat are celebrated over winning unabashedly. The pursuit of excellence and exceptionalism are at the heart of American identity, and the disappearance of these ideals in our country leaves a deep moral and cultural vacuum in its wake. But the solution isn’t to simply complain about it. It’s to revive a new cultural movement in America that puts excellence first again.

In Consilience (a word that originally meant "jumping together"), Edward O. Wilson renews the Enlightenment's search for a unified theory of knowledge in disciplines that range from physics to biology, the social sciences and the humanities. Using the natural sciences as his model, Wilson forges dramatic links between fields. Presenting the latest findings in prose of wonderful clarity and oratorical eloquence, and synthesizing it into a dazzling whole, Consilience is science in the path-clearing traditions of Newton, Einstein, and Richard Feynman.

In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z’s mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What’s gone wrong with America’s youth? In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn’t the kids—it’s the mental health experts.

Today’s conservatives know what they’re against. They’re anti-woke, anti-globalist, anti-big government. But what exactly do they stand for? The fact that this is a hard question to answer is a damning indictment of the modern Republican Party which has abjectly failed to articulate an affirmative alternative to the left’s vision. Ramaswamy calls on the conservative movement to articulate exactly what it stands for, or else warns of another illusory “red wave” in 2024.

There’s a new invisible force at work in our economic and cultural lives. It affects every advertisement we see and every product we buy, from our morning coffee to a new pair of shoes. “Stakeholder capitalism” makes rosy promises of a better, more diverse, environmentally friendly world, but in reality, this ideology, championed by America’s business and political leaders, robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity.

In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been fooled by hypocritical and inconsistent anti-West rhetoric. After all, if we must discard the ideas of Kant, Hume, and Mill for their opinions on race, shouldn’t we discard Marx, whose work is peppered with racial slurs and anti-Semitism? Embers of racism remain to be stamped out in America, but what about the raging racist inferno in the Middle East and Asia?

Potential of being a helpful book if the guy wasn’t such a narcissist
I normally don’t write reviews, and I was initially quite excited about this book, but the authors narcissism drove me nuts. Overall the content of the book is good, and Saad covers some helpful topics BUT does every example need to be about him and how he has mastered life? The arrogance underneath many of his illustrations was actually nauseating a times. I kind of understand where he is coming from in being excited about life and wanting to share how he’s experienced what he’s teaching, but seriously man. Learn to share and celebrate the stories of others rather than just yours. Share areas where you’ve failed maybe? In short - I actually think Mr Saad has some undiagnosed narcissism and needs a good old dose of humble pie. If you can do that - I think your writing will go much further (even though you’re apparently VERY successful as you mentioned a billion times)

Should have read the book himself.
I noticed the negative reviews are mostly personal attacks that thinly disguise the reviewer’s likely woke world view.
Saad is admittedly not that humble but he is usually right.
Well worth the listen.

Peaceful and Hopeful
I have enjoyed this audiobook greatly. It was a peaceful, hopeful and loving listen. We can all get where we need to be in life, if we work on it. I was already a strong proponent of seeking peace in life. As peace can be converted into happiness. Pursuit of happiness was really never my thing, as I found those words hollow in description. I admire Gad Saad's linguistic talent and wit. I follow him on X and he brings me joy and laughter every day. His love for his wife is present in his tweets and in this book. Finding the right partner is THE MOST important thing in life in my opinion. I find too many young people abstain from seeking relationships all together nowadays and I am worried that our society will suffer for it greatly in the future. 222 Gadfather, you give me daily dose of hope and I appreciate you and your beautiful wife every day. And if anyone is reading this review, please get the Parasitic Mind too to unlearn all the nonsense that Marxists and virtual signalers are trying to feed you. You will lead a happier more authentic life.

Disappointing considering his other books
Considering the brilliance of the author, this is not a very good book. Flimsy & scattered at worst. Obvious and mediocre at best. Endless self congratulatory stories of the author that he offers as 'proof' of his obvious, common sense ideas.
The entire book is easily summed up as, the author is better than you and "do everything in moderation" (with no definitive idea of what moderation means).
Skip this, read his other works.

I feel like this book was just a bunch of random stories of the author and all of his life accolades. Not organized well, and no obvious advice on living that happy life. Darn. Had high hopes.

I did not finish this book. I couldn't stand the author's personal opinions on politics presented as facts.
I don't recommend this book unless you want to hear how privileged people are happier.
