That Little Voice In Your Head: Adjust the Code That Runs Your Brain Paperback – May 24, 2022

The main idea presented here is that you - whoever you are - you can take control of your brain. When you do, you can actively choose happiness and a generative life approach. And Mo Gawdat shares many practical tools for that purpose here worth checking out.

If you thought that everything had already been said about happiness and how to get there, you are wrong, Mo Gawdat's new book shows us that there are important issues to analyze in order to achieve this state that is so important for the human being. In this book, Mo Gwadat offers us a series of practical and very useful tools and exercises for our daily life, not to achieve happiness but to be in it at all times. Not only does he offer us his blog, a podcast, his other books, but also an app! incredible!! I already want to use it. The technique that Mo Gwadat offers us is proven, I have applied it in my daily life and it has helped me a lot to have peace and be happy every day, you cannot miss this text if you want to be happy, the question is, who don't want to be happy?

This provides a lot of usable information about how our brain works and use that knowledge to be happy.Thank you Mo.

Enjoying the book, insights are great. The tools Mo offers are a great addition to your daily practice. For those who journal, this is great as a guide to help with what to write and how. Prompts are helpful.You will want to keep a copy for reading more than once.

Having a hard time getting interested in this book. I have to make myself read it. Very boring.

Mo Gawdat is a former executive at Google, Microsoft, and IBM, with a tragic backstory and significant skills and training in engineering for software and tech infrastructure (my layperson's understanding). His self-help book essentially invites readers to a) see their brain/life as an engineer would a system and b) reprogram it to achieve better outcomes, i.e. happiness. I find his personality and writing style to be affable, accessible, and easily understood. I also like how the exercises (generally at the end of the chapters) make more efficient reading of the book, i.e. you read and then he summarizes what you read. However, the minus 1 star is simply because the book isn't...new. "Adjust the code" == "Rewire" == "develop good habits"...I don't see how this is different from other self-help books written from a psychologist's point of view, or therapist, or eternal optimist, or what-have-you. Maybe this is the niche book for engineers who are unhappy, framing the information this way uniquely helps them? I'm not sure. But in any case, 4 stars seems the proper rating.

13 pages in I'm hooked. I'm hooked into the author's story, his motivation for writing this book, and where he promises us, his readers, to take us. I'm curious, so suspect I'll be reading this book for the next few hours completely immersed in it and mesmerized. I'm a big thinker, I think a lot, and agree with Mo ... our thoughts can uplift and inspire us, and can make us absolutely miserable and cause us great unhappiness. I suspect this book will be a success, as his others have been. I believe it's well worth buying and reading. Thank you Mo.
