Man Down: The Anti-Man-Up Movement
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
This week's very special episode of Man Down is with the brilliant Mo Gawdat. Mo is the former Chief Business Officer of Google X (Google's so-called 'moonshot factory' responsible for off-the-wall ideas such as self-driving cars and a balloon-powered internet) but for many years, despite his success, he found himself deeply unhappy. After experiencing the tragic loss of his son, he set out to find out what it truly means to be happy and to share the teachings of his son with the masses. Mo is the author of Solve for Happy and host of the Slo Mo Podcast, and his most recent book, Scary Smart, a call to action for all of us to wake up to the reality of Artificial Intelligence.
Mo and I discuss what it means to be truly happy, the role of masculinity within this and of course, the rise of A.I and what we all need to be thinking about when it comes to the so called 'rise' of the machines.
I hope you enjoy it!
Mo's new book, Scary Smart, is now available for pre-orders. Pre-order your copy from Amazon and send an email titled 'Man Down' with a screenshot of your order confirmation to win@mogawdat.com.
