In this deeply personal conversation, bestselling author and former Google X Chief Business Officer Mo Gawdat sits down to talk about happiness as a practiced skill, the stories we tell ourselves about our childhoods, and why suffering is often a choice rather than something life imposes on us.We dig into:🌟Why happiness (and fitness) is a muscle you have to keep training, not a switch you flip🌟Reframing painful childhood memories through the "vantage point" lens🌟The difference between pain/challenges and self-created suffering🌟The "Eraser Experiment" — why we wouldn't actually erase our worst moments🌟What love really is, and why it's separate from partnership, passion, romance, companionship, friendship, tenderness, and support (the "PPRFCTS")🌟Why slow-burn relationships beat instant chemistry🌟The dating app supply-and-demand problem — and how Emma, an AI-powered relationship app, is trying to fix it by matching people on depth instead of photos🌟A candid, wide-ranging talk about rewriting your inner narrative, redefining love, and reimagining how people find real connection.🔗 Try Emma: app.emma.love🔗 Join the waitlist: emma.love-Hi, I’m Naila Nazer.
