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.

I fkn loved this book
Real, raw, personal and moving. Scott Galloway is like a dude you’d want to sit and have a beer with and then get into some deep and vulnerable shit. It’s got some great insight in there.

Galloway breaks life down. And back up again...
If you’re familiar with Scott’s work on Pivot or The Prof G show you’re likely aware of his intellect and knowledge base.
It’s also true that he occasionally draws on this book for some of the analogies and story telling on his podcasts.
But what this book delivers is the underlying heart, vulnerability and raw masculine emotion that for Scott is forever present, but sometimes obscured in the shorter form formats.
Well done Scotty, it’s a very, very good book.

Scott never disappoints
A candid mini-biopic from a 50+ year old dude that has seen much, weighed his choices and reflects on where he went wrong. Even though it's a book for sale, it feels mildly altruistic, like he actually gives a s*it about the reader and wants you to take his life's lessons on board.

A good perspective, abit short
Scott Galloway is an amazing author, it was great conent but a bit short book than I expected. It was just getting good and finished at climax. Nevertheless, worth it. I guess I habe to relisten to it over amd over.

Life lessons from Scott
Interesting life lessons and reflections from Scott Galloway trying to amend for past indiscretions and pay it forward by sharing his experiences. Great that he reads it himself. If you weren’t familiar with him and his style it wouldn’t resonate as well. Read The Four and listen to him on Pivot first.

Thought provoking and emotional.
As a father of three now grown young adults I found Scott’s book thought-provoking and incredibly emotional. I think the book read by the author is a reflection on a side of humanity that all of us can lose touch with when we focus primarily on our own needs before those we love. Thank you Scott, I will be recommending this book to everyone especially my boys and those I care about.

Wise words articulated most straight-forwardly
Good book and concisely written. A more deliberate structure would help readers to recall the contents after finishing the book.
