<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"[A] provocative book of hard-won wisdom for achieving a fulfilling career and life, based on his viral video of the same name. Scott Galloway teaches brand strategy at NYU's Stern School of Business, but often his class veers to life strategy. His students are smart and hardworking, but they struggle with life's biggest questions, just like the rest of us. 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 really possible? What does it take to make a long-term relationship succeed? Galloway explores these and many other questions in the take-no-prisoners style that has made him a sought-after commentator and YouTube star"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An unconventional book of wisdom and life advice from renowned business school professor and <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Four </i>Scott Galloway.</b> <p/>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? <p/><i>The Algebra of Happiness: Notes on the Pursuit of Success, Love, and Meaning</i> 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. <p/>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. <p/>Brash, funny, and surprisingly moving, <i>The Algebra of Happiness</i> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A] lovely short book, which is likely to be a graduation and holiday gift for years to come. --Barry Ritholtz, Bloomberg <p/>"<i>The Algebra of Happiness</i> offers raw and vulnerable wisdom, delivered with heart.
