The Algebra of Happiness: Notes on the Pursuit of Success, Love, and Meaning

　　紐約大學商學院知名教授兼紐約時報暢銷作家 《四騎士主宰的未來》作者史考特‧蓋洛威Scott Galloway最新顛覆之作！放下傳統的智慧箴言，重新看待蘊生快樂的必備方程式。



　　蓋洛威在紐約大學教授品牌行銷，但他最受歡迎課堂卻是生活策略，而非商業戰略。不管是在課堂裡、部落格上，甚至是百萬人瀏覽的Youtube個人頻道，他毫無畏懼地對人生裡的大議題提供犀利的解答：美好的人生有什麼公式嗎？如何讓自己從事意義非凡的事業，而不只是汲汲營營謀利？工作跟生活可以達到平衡嗎？如何能營造一段健康圓滿的關係？



　　休學出來創業也好（這也許適用於賈伯斯，但你畢竟不是賈伯斯），在已飽和的就業市場中找到一席之地也罷（搬到大城市做些無聊的工作，我們這些市井小民是很難用熱情過活的），總之，明瞭什麼樣的選擇對的你生活才是至關重要，或許最重要的並非你的工作、你的車、你的房，而是我們的人際關係。



　　凝聚多年在商學院教書，看過無數商場中成功、失敗、快樂或空需的各種生命觀察。本書集結趣聞軼事，以淺顯的言論及自身的動人故事與大家分享在生活難題中習得的處事智慧，寫來桀驁不馴、有趣卻出奇感人，帶給我們對於事業成功和個人成就感全新視角，不論是即將畢業的學生，或為人生感到迷惘的人，都能從中得益。（文/博客來編譯）

An unconventional book of wisdom and life advice from renowned business school professor and New York Times bestselling author of The Four Scott Galloway.

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?

The Algebra of Happiness: Notes on the Pursuit of Success, Love, and Meaning 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.

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.

Brash, funny, and surprisingly moving, The Algebra of Happiness 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.

Scott Galloway is the New York Times bestselling author of The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google and a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business. A serial entrepreneur, he has founded nine firms, including L2, Red Envelope, and Prophet. In 2012, he was named one of the ＂World’s 50 Best Business School Professors＂ by Poets & Quants. His weekly YouTube series, ＂Winners and Losers,＂ has generated tens of millions of views. He is the cohost of Pivot with Recode’s Kara Swisher and the author of the newsletter No Mercy/No Malice.
