(#009) Mo Gawdat - Secret to Happiness | Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence

Mo Gawdat is a happiness pioneer, former Chief Business Officer of Googe [X] (Google's elite team of engineers that comprise Google’s futuristic “moonshot factory” of innovation), and a global thought leader whose mission is to make one billion people happier (#onebillionhappy).

He's the founder of One Billion Happy, and an Egyptian serial entrepreneur who has co-founded more than 20 companies in fields such as health and fitness, food and beverage, and real estate.  

Mo Gawdat is the author of “Solve for Happy: Engineering Your Path to Joy” (2017). Through his 12-year research on the topic of happiness, he created an algorithm and a repeatable well-engineered model to reach a state of uninterrupted happiness regardless of the circumstances of life. Mo’s happiness model proved highly effective. And, in 2014, was put to the ultimate test when Mo lost his son Ali to a preventable medical error during a simple surgical procedure.

With his son's unexpected passing, Mo began to see life in a different light. Keeping Ali's tattoo in mind, The Gravity of Battle Means Nothing to Those at Peace, he set out to discover the perfect equation for happiness.

Mo has an impressive combined career of 27 years, starting at IBM Egypt as a Systems Engineer before moving to a sales role in the government sector. Venturing into the UAE, Mo joined NCR Abu Dhabi to cover the non-finance sector. He then became acquainted with the consumer goods industry as Regional Manager of BAT. At Microsoft, he assumed various roles over a span of seven and a half years, in his last role at Microsoft he headed the Communications Sector across Emerging Markets worldwide.
