About this listen
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.

A great read! thought-provoking and very helpful.
The only thing negative about this audiobook was the kind of robotic performance of the narrator. it gets better after a while, I guess it takes some getting used to.
the content of this book is great. it informs using past and modern research. take all 8 or leave some out, this book is sure to help you raise the bar closer to happiness than not. and that's all that was enough for me. I must read it again soon!
highly recommended.

A great book for these times
In a time when there is so much depression it is so important to remember that happiness is largely our own responsibility. That sounds horrifying until you realise it puts you in control. The only thing that would have made this book better is if Gad Saad had read it himself

Not bad
Some good advice but a little self indulgent. A book like this needs to be read by the author as well.

The Saad Truth
After the truly momentous Parasitic Mind I was expecting great things.
Whilst the book is very good I can't help but feel a bit of a let down.
Do better Mr Saad, we need you.

I'm not convinced this was written by Gad Saad
This book misses that mark on so many points. If it was written in the 80s it may be relevant.
In a nut shel it's overarching message is
Get a satisfying job at the old mill, marry your high school sweetheart & emote like an accent Roman.
I expected more
