A potent and practical guide for personal happiness from Steven Bartlett, creator and host of the highly popular podcast The Diary of a CEO
We are losing ourselves. We’re chasing the wrong things, asking the wrong questions, and polluting our minds. It’s time to stop, it’s time to resist and it’s time to rethink the fundamental social blueprint that our lives are built upon.
“As an 18-year-old, Black, broke, lonely, insecure, university drop-out from a bankrupt family, I wrote in my diary that I wanted to be a ‘Happy Sexy Millionaire’ by the age of 25. By 25 I was a multi-millionaire having created a business worth over $300m dollars. Ironically, in achieving everything I set out to, I learnt that I was wrong about almost everything . . . The world had lied to me. It lied to me about how you attain fulfillment, love and success, why those things matter, and what those words actually mean.”
In this book, wildly successful entrepreneur and bestselling author of The Diary of a CEO Steven Bartlett dismantles the most popular, unaddressed lies about happiness that we’ve been led to believe. He exposes the source of these lies, examines the incentives that fuel them, and replaces them with a practical set of scientifically proven and unconventional ideas that will help you to live a truly fulfilled life, a life full of the love you seek, and the success you deserve.
