If You're So Smart Why Aren't You Happy: The Suprising Path from Career Success to Life Success
By Raj Raghunathan

The first book by the creator of COURSERA(r)'s most popular online course in 2015, "A Life of Happiness and Fulfillment" Could the same traits that drive your career success also be keeping you from being happier? Fifteen
years after getting his MBA, Raj Raghunathan spent some time with his
old classmates. He noticed that though they d all done well, there didn t
appear to be much correlation between their academic success and career
success. What Raj found even more curious was the even smaller
correlation between career success and what he calls life success. The
greater the career success, the more unhappy, out of shape, harried and
distracted his friends were. If intelligence helps with
decision-making, smart people should naturally make better life choices.
So why are so many of the smartest, brightest, most successful people
profoundly unhappy? Raj set out to find an answer to this problem, and
extensively researched happiness not just of students and business
people, but also stay-at-home-parents, lawyers, and artists, among
others. "If You re So Smart, Why Aren t You Happy? "takes readers on
a fun and meaningful tour of the best research available on how some of
the very determinants of success may also come to deflate happiness.
Raghunathan explores the seven most common inclinations that successful
people need to overcome, and the seven habits they should adopt instead.
Among his surprising findings... .The correlation between wealth and happiness is much smaller than you'd expect it to be.Generosity is not only a key to happiness, but a determining factor of long term success.Appreciating uncertainty, rather than seeking full control of outcomes, is necessary for happiness"""If
You re So Smart, Why Aren t You Happy?" will give you a powerful new
perspective on your work, personal goals and relationships, whether you
re already successful or just starting out."
