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.

One of my top ten books for 2023 so far

For me, it was an experience that mainly confirmed my views on life. On one hand, realising so many people around me have changed, made me sad. For instance: there are no free casual meeting places anymore where I live, where people go to meet each other. Other than places where people practice religion, or where the main activity isn't the only priority (like the gym). I feel for example, that traditional 24/7 social coffee houses are disappearing. This makes it hard to actually live by, in a practival sense, some of the advice in the book: needing a membership just to meet people isn't ideal.
On the other hand, knowing that I'm not going crazy, and being able to better justify my thinking, principles and actions, even though I had to deal with set backs, and didn't manage to make my life work yet, is a big win to me. And it's a great comfort.
Most self-help books are floaty, or elitist. Gad doesn't do the guru stuff. He didn't have to produce a self-help book. And it shows. It gives the book an awareness, a roundedness; it's deeply relevant, personal, accessible, and very enjoyable.
Gad knows the Dutch exist! That's 5 stars
