Is happiness a choice?  And if so, can it be engineered?  Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer of Google X and founder of One Billion Happy, believes this is true.  In fact, he's used his three decades of success in the tech industry to engineer his very own "happiness algorithm" to help all of us achieve this mind frame. Gawdat began his mission to conquer happiness after experiencing the ultimate tragedy.  In 2014, Mo suddenly lost his beloved son, Ali, which thrust him into depression and an existential reckoning with life's fragility. Rather than succumbing to this ultimate despair, Gawdat turned his grief into a catalyst for transformation. He soon embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery and healing, driven by a newfound mission to spread happiness and well-being to the world. Drawing from his personal experience and extensive research, Mo has authored the international bestseller "Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy” and continues to champion his message of happiness to millions worldwide. Via his writing, speaking engagements, and podcast, Gawdat offers practical tools and strategies for finding joy in the face of adversity.Mo's commitment to spreading happiness has touched millions of lives.  He continues to inspire people from all walks of life to embrace happiness as a fundamental choice, as well as empower them to engineer their own paths to fulfillment. Tony and Sage Robbins are excited to share this special presentation from a 2022 private event with their Platinum Partners in Mexico.

As I think about AI’s capabilities – the good, the bad and possibly terrifying, I realize how serious this moment is in history for humanity. Mo Gawdat is the former chief business officer for Google X and has built a monumental career in the tech industry working with the biggest names to reshape and reimagine the world as we know it. From IBM to Microsoft, Mo has lived at the cutting edge of technology and has taken a strong stance that AI is a bigger threat to humanity than global warming. The AI dilemma is reshaping our future whether you’re in favor of it or not. The question is, are we even close to being prepared for humanity’s collision with artificial intelligence? Strap in for the ride, we’re diving headfirst into this conversation and uncovering the alarming truth about how vulnerable we actually are and what that means for the next decade ahead. QUOTES: “It really is about a point of no return. Where if we cross that point of no return we have very little chance to bring the genie back into the bottle.” “There is no shutting down AI, there is no reversing it, there is no stopping development of it.” “We’ve never created a nuclear weapon that can create nuclear weapons.” “The growth on the next chip in your phone is going to be a million times more than the computer that put people on the moon.” “When we ask computers to communicate, at first they communicate like we tell them, but if they're intelligent enough, they'll start to say, ‘that's too slow.’” “One of our better scenarios, believe it or not, is that AI ignores us altogether.” “Technology today can influence one human at a time.” Follow Mo Gawdat: Website: https://www.mogawdat.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCilMYYyoot7vhLn4Tinzmmg Twitter: https://twitter.com/mgawdat Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mo_gawdat/
