Publisher's summary

To fix a machine, first you need to find out what’s wrong with it. To fix unhappiness, you need to find out what causes it.

That Little Voice in Your Head is the practical guide to retraining your brain for optimal joy by Mo Gawdat, the internationally bestselling author of Solve for Happy. Mo reveals how by beating negative self-talk, we can change our thought processes, turning our greed into generosity, our apathy into compassion and investing in our own happiness.

This book provides listeners with exercises to help reshape their mental processes. Drawing on his expertise in programming and his knowledge of neuroscience, Mo explains how—despite their incredible complexity—our brains behave in ways that are largely predictable. From these insights, he delivers this user manual for happiness.

Inspired by the life of his late son, Ali, Mo Gawdat has set out to share a model for happiness based on generosity and empathy towards ourselves and others. Using his experience as a former Google engineer and Chief Business Officer, Mo shares his 'code' for reprogramming our brain and moving away from the misconceptions modern life gives us.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Everything he writes is an enlightening education in how to be human." (Elizabeth Day)

Change my way how to think about life and happiness

I was looking for something to change my mind or even just to know how my mind think or work , or butter way to explain it is what is the algorithm to my mind.
Love it loves it can not wait to finish it.

Thank you, Mo and a big thank to Ali.

This is a book I’ll keep coming back to

With all of the discord in the world right now it’s hard to feel hopeful at times. This book is a reminder that society is unhappy because we individually are unhappy. The best way to make things better is to start with ourselves. He is right, if we all were happier and more compassionate, the world would be a much better place. It’s easier said than done, but I’m eager to use the ideas in this book to try to make myself and my little world a little better.

So many insights

It’s amazing! This audible book gives you so many enlightening nuggets of gold. I love MO’s voice, and as he speaks it is as if he is sitting across from you. He makes everything he says so clear to understand. He is a father who gives his son, who he lost, and daughter such tender love.

Must listen

Great approach to a complicated subject. Very intersting view of an executive programmer to subjects such as emotions and toughts. Loved it! Thank you Mr. Mo.

Thanks Mo!

please read

you can change your brain and you can be happy - the stories are great but you have homework

Literally saved me.

I was going through the hardest year of my life when I read this book. I’d had constant medical challenges for more than 8 months. The pain had caused me to slip into depression and I couldn’t see a way out. The medication wasn’t working and even time spent with friends and family wasn’t helping.

This book reminded me that it was all a biological experience and I was totally in control. I immediately identified the pervasive thoughts that were keeping me stuck, and built practices that allowed me to change the way my brain was working.

The most incredible part was that, once I changed my thoughts, the symptoms I’d been experiencing all year also went away.

Thank you, Mo. For sharing your wisdom, for taking the time to record this audio book, and for being you.
