🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Diary of a CEO, featuring Mo Gawdat and Steven Bartlett, The Happiness Expert: Retrain Your Brain For Maximum Happiness! Mo Gawdat explores rewiring Happiness: Mo Gawdat On Love, Flow, And Thought Control Mo Gawdat returns to discuss how happiness is a skill rooted in how we use our brains, not in external circumstances. He explains neuroplasticity and how our thoughts, conditioning, and media inputs literally rewire our brains toward either anxiety or peace. The conversation covers designing a life of ‘flow’, unconventional views on relationships and dating as an economics problem, and the balance of masculine and feminine energies in work and life. Mo grounds the ideas in his own story of loss, mission, and his ongoing attempt to live half as a monk and half as a “modern-day warrior.”
