Happiness is a multimillion-dollar industry, catering to our deep
desire to live a joyful life and to a belief that, as human beings,
we deserve to be happy. Gopi Kallayil believes in reversing that
equation. He holds that what we truly deserve is to be human, and
that the key to happiness lies in being 100 percent who we are,
even if - maybe especially if - that means falling on our faces.
Which Gopi has done. Many times. But he's also had spectacular
success. This book explores the qualities that make us human and
have helped to make Gopi successful and happy in both his personal
life and his professional career. Full of candor, compassion, and
Gopi's signature love of the absurd, The Happy Human spans the
period from his first job as a software programmer in South China
to his current position as an executive at Google in Silicon
Valley. Each chapter captures an event in Gopi's life where he dug
deep and found the means to express himself from a place of radical
confidence: Singing live at Burning Man, even though he sings
off-key. Participating in a triathlon, with an open-water swim,
when he had only swum in a pool. (Lifeguards pulled him into their
boat to save him.) Speaking at Toastmasters International - and
being willing to be awful - before finally, years later, becoming
one of their top speakers. He also weaves in accounts of others who
have dreamed big and acted on their dreams. Gopi's stories and
practices guide us gently toward happiness by embracing not only
our own selves but the entire human experience, inspiring us to
expect miracles daily, to use every fall as a chance to bounce, to
live our lives full-out.
