Mo Gawdat
Former Chief Business Officer of Google [X], Podcast Host, Bestselling Author, Founder of One Billion Happy & Chief AI Officer of Flight Story
After 30 years in tech and serving as Chief Business Officer at Google [X], Google's 'moonshot factory' of innovation, Mo has made happiness his primary focus, diving into literature and conversing on the topic with the wisest people in the world.   In 2014, motivated by the tragic loss of his son, Ali, Mo poured his findings into his international bestseller Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy. His mission to help one billion people become happier, #OneBillionHappy, is his moonshot attempt to honour Ali by spreading the message that happiness can be learned and shared to one billion people.  In 2020, Mo launched his weekly chart-topping podcast, Slo Mo: A Podcast with Mo Gawdat, extraordinary interviews exploring profound questions and obstacles faced in the pursuit of purpose and happiness.    In 2021, Mo published Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World, a roadmap detailing how humanity can ensure a symbiotic coexistence with AI when it inevitably becomes a billion times smarter than us.   His latest book is That Little Voice in Your Head: Adjust the Code That Runs Your Brain (2022), a comprehensive user manual for optimally using the human brain optimally to thrive and avoid suffering.
