College senior and obsessive romantic Kayla Cummings’ dreams of a storybook life are spun off course by an unplanned pregnancy after a one-night stand with her secret crush. Devastated, Kayla turns to her roommates and best friends for advice. No matter what she decides, no matter how deeply embarrassed, she has to tell the father. Ben Strickland’s future is written in stone—as long as he gets a decent score on the Law School Admission Test. Feeling pressure from all sides, Ben struggles to juggle his upcoming finals, another shot at the LSAT, and his needy girlfriend Darcy. When the girl he spent a memorable night with weeks ago shows up at his doorstep pregnant, his already chaotic life spins out of control. With the clock ticking, decisions to make, and a boatload of people to disappoint, Ben and Kayla embark on a journey neither anticipated—a journey where falling in love might be the biggest surprise of all. But when old hurts and buried secrets pose a greater threat to their future than impending parenthood, will Ben and Kayla go their separate ways or forge a new path to happy ever after?

Download or read book The Algebra of Happiness written by Scott Galloway and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unconventional book of wisdom and life advice from renowned business school professor and New York Times bestselling author of The Four Scott Galloway. Scott Galloway teaches brand strategy at NYU's Stern School of Business, but his most popular lectures deal with life strategy, not business. In the classroom, on his blog, and in YouTube videos garnering millions of views, he regularly offers hard-hitting answers to the big questions: What's the formula for a life well lived? How can you have a meaningful career, not just a lucrative one? Is work/life balance possible? What are the elements of a successful relationship? The Algebra of Happiness: Notes on the Pursuit of Success, Love, and Meaning draws on Professor Galloway's mix of anecdotes and no-BS insight to share hard-won wisdom about life's challenges, along with poignant personal stories. Whether it's advice on if you should drop out of school to be an entrepreneur (it might have worked for Steve Jobs, but you're probably not Steve Jobs), ideas on how to position yourself in a crowded job market (do something "boring" and move to a city; passion is for people who are already rich), discovering what the most important decision in your life is (it's not your job, your car, OR your zip code), or arguing that our relationships to others are ultimately all that matter, Galloway entertains, inspires, and provokes. Brash, funny, and surprisingly moving, The Algebra of Happiness represents a refreshing perspective on our need for both professional success and personal fulfillment, and makes the perfect gift for any new graduate, or for anyone who feels adrift.

Download or read book The Happiness Equation written by Neil Pasricha and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 international bestseller from the author of The Book of Awesome that “reveals how all of us can live happier lives” (Gretchen Rubin). What is the formula for a happy life? Neil Pasricha is a Harvard MBA, a New York Times–bestselling author, a Walmart executive, a father, a husband. After selling more than a million copies of the Book of Awesome series, wherein he observed the everyday things he thought were awesome, he now shifts his focus to the practicalities of living an awesome life. In his new book The Happiness Equation, Pasricha illustrates how to want nothing and do anything in order to have everything. If that sounds like a contradiction in terms, you simply have yet to unlock the 9 Secrets to Happiness. Each secret takes a piece out of the core of common sense, turns it on its head to present it in a completely new light, and then provides practical and specific guidelines for how to apply this new outlook to lead a fulfilling life. Once you've unlocked Pasricha’s 9 Secrets, you will understand counter intuitive concepts such as: Success Does Not Lead to Happiness, Never Take Advice, and Retirement Is a Broken Theory. You will learn and then master three brand-new fundamental life tests: the Saturday Morning Test, The Bench Test, and the Five People Test. You will know the difference between external goals and internal goals and how to make more money than a Harvard MBA (hint: it has nothing to do with your annual salary). You will discover that true wealth has nothing to do with money, multitasking is a myth, and the elimination of options leads to more choice. The Happiness Equation is a book that will change how you think about pretty much everything—your time, your career, your relationships, your family, and, ultimately, of course, your happiness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Few of us really appreciate the full power of math--the extent to which its influence is not only in every office and every home, but also in every courtroom and hospital ward. In this ... book, Kit Yates explores the true stories of life-changing events in which the application--or misapplication--of mathematics has played a critical role: patients crippled by faulty genes and entrepreneurs bankrupted by faulty algorithms; innocent victims of miscarriages of justice; and the unwitting victims of software glitches"--Publisher marketing.

Download or read book The Formula written by Albert-László Y Barabási and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the bestselling tradition of Malcom Gladwell, James Gleick, and Nate Silver, prominent professor László Barabási gives us a trailblazing book that promises to transform the very foundations of how our success-obsessed society approaches their professional careers, life pursuits and long-term goals. Too often, accomplishment does not equal success. We did the work but didn't get the promotion; we played hard but weren't recognized; we had the idea but didn't get the credit. We convince ourselves that talent combined with a strong work ethic is the key to getting ahead, but also realize that combination often fails to yield results, without any deeper understanding as to why. Recognizing this striking disconnect, the author, along with a team of renowned researchers and some of the most advanced data-crunching systems on the planet, dedicated themselves to one goal: uncovering that ever-elusive link between performance and success. Now, based on years of academic research, The Formula finally unveils the groundbreaking discoveries of their pioneering study, not only highlighting the scientific and mathematic principles that underpin success, but also revolutionizing our understanding of: Why performance is necessary but not adequate Why "Experts" are often wrong How to assemble a creative team primed for success How to most effectively engage our networks "This is not just an important but an imperative project: to approach the problem of randomness and success using the state of the art scientific arsenal we have. Barabasi is the person."-Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of the New York Times bestselling The Black Swan and Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at NYU

Download or read book Solve for Happy written by Mo Gawdat and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “powerful personal story woven with a rich analysis of what we all seek” (Sergey Brin, cofounder of Google), Mo Gawdat, Chief Business Officer at Google’s [X], applies his superior logic and problem solving skills to understand how the brain processes joy and sadness—and then he solves for happy. In 2001 Mo Gawdat realized that despite his incredible success, he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would: examining all the provable facts and scrupulously applying logic. Eventually, his countless hours of research and science proved successful, and he discovered the equation for permanent happiness. Thirteen years later, Mo’s algorithm would be put to the ultimate test. After the sudden death of his son, Ali, Mo and his family turned to his equation—and it saved them from despair. In dealing with the horrible loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of “moonshot” goal that he and his colleagues were always aiming for—he would share his equation with the world and help as many people as possible become happier. In Solve for Happy Mo questions some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence, shares the underlying reasons for suffering, and plots out a step-by-step process for achieving lifelong happiness and enduring contentment. He shows us how to view life through a clear lens, teaching us how to dispel the illusions that cloud our thinking; overcome the brain’s blind spots; and embrace five ultimate truths. No matter what obstacles we face, what burdens we bear, what trials we’ve experienced, we can all be content with our present situation and optimistic about the future.

Download or read book The Ideal Business Formula written by Pat Rigsby and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pat Rigsby asked himself one vital question: What is business success for me? Because feeling like his business owned him, instead of the other way around, certainly was not part of his definition of success. He vowed to make a change and, after much research, Pat Rigsby's IDEAL business was formed. He created a business based on his life goals, which transformed his life into something that was ideal for him and his family. Now, he's sharing everything he's learned to help you do the same. The IDEAL Business Formula is the quintessential guide designed to help you combine professional success with personal satisfaction in a way that most people think is impossible. By using his IDEAL Business Rules and Principles, Pat Rigsby takes the guesswork out of creating a business and life of fulfillment. Furthermore, he elaborates on concepts such as creating business guardrails, defining a niche, and establishing a brand--and so much more--to provide each step necessary to building a business and life you love. Stop compromising your personal life for your business (and vice versa) and starting living your IDEAL life today What others are saying about The IDEAL Business Formula: "If you're looking to build a business that is rewarding in every way, Pat is the man that can help you. He'll give you a proven formula for personal and professional success." Lewis Howes, New York Times Best-selling Author(R) "Pat Rigsby is the perfect mentor for entrepreneurs. He's not only very successful, but he's achieved that success both the wrong way--suffering from overworking, stress, and burnout--and a more sustainable approach with more balance. The IDEAL Business Formula is a blueprint for a better approach to business--and life." Adam Bornstein, New York Times Best-selling Author(R) "This book is a MUST for anyone who wants a more fulfilling business. If you want to enjoy your business more and create more IMPACT in the universe, Pat gives you the blueprint with his IDEAL Business Formula book. Definitely a MUST read for any fitness or wellness professional looking for more business development and personal growth." Todd Durkin, Author, The WOW BOOK & The IMPACT Body Plan, Trainer, NBC STRONG Member, Under Armour Performance Training Team "Starting a business is challenging. Managing growth of that business is even more challenging. Establishing the lifestyle that you want that actually includes that business is nearly impossible. If there's anyone who can show you how, it's Pat Rigsby--and that's why this book is a must read. As you read it you'll find yourself nodding your head and asking 'Why didn't I think of that?'" Eric Cressey "There are countless generic business resources that may assist you in developing a profitable business. Where Pat differentiates himself from all the others is that not only is he the model guide to profitability (he's done it himself more than once), but he stands alone as the leader in how to build the perfect business for YOU. The IDEAL Business Formula provides the framework for creating a successful business without creating a monster that steals away all of the important things. You'll learn how to keep everything in its place to overcome the obstacles preventing you from creating a unique, high-production business, and how to design, create, and master the process of building your IDEAL life." Bill Hartman

Now Conley tells his own comeback story and those of other resilient people and inspiring role models who have worked through emotional equations in their own lives. Emotional Equations arms you with practical strategies for turbulent times.
