The second life equation is inspired by former Google Chief Business Officer and author Mo Gawdat who observed our happiness is related to our expectations.
We adapted that insight into this equation:
Happiness = events – expectations.
The more we are able to invite events to unfold without any expectations the more we will be surprised, aligned, and able to be present within these moments as they unfold in our lives. And happiness emerges from a place of living inside our lives, rather than evaluating them from a perspective of expectations.
