Sanjiv Sahay has been studying the science of happiness for over twenty-five years, working to integrate it with his spiritual life and his practice of meditation. His interest began with Bertrand Russell’s The Conquest of Happiness and a thought he never put down: almost everything we do is aimed, in the end, at happiness, so why do we spend so little effort understanding how it works?
He believes that making a positive difference in the lives of others is one of the most important goals in life, and a lasting source of happiness in its own right. That conviction led him, in 2000, to create the website myhappiness.com to share what he had learned. This book, tested against the published research over years of work, is the fullest expression of the same goal: the most useful thing he knows how to leave behind.
By profession, Sanjiv is a technology entrepreneur based in Silicon Valley, California. He has run a technology consulting company for over twenty-five years and recently co-founded an AI startup. As an engineer by training, a scientific, evidence-based approach to happiness comes naturally to him. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kanpur and an MBA from IIM Calcutta, and he helped found the global PanIIT alumni organization, which connects hundreds of thousands of IIT alumni across many countries.
