Steven Bartlett is the 28-year-old founder of the social media marketing agency, Social Chain. From a bedroom in Manchester, this university drop-out built what would become one of the world's most influential social media companies when he was just 21-years-old, before taking his company public at 27 with a market valuation of almost £200m.

He was born in a village in Botswana, Africa and grew up as a young black man in an all-white area in the southwest of England. He never had money or good grades, but he did have an unshakeable sense of self-belief and a remarkably unconventional perspective on the world.

Steven is widely considered one of Europe's most talented and accomplished young entrepreneurs and philosophical thinkers.

His podcast The Diary Of A CEO has become one of the top lifestyle, business and mindset podcasts in Europe and Steven has accumulated over 2 million followers online.

Happy Sexy Millionaire: Unexpected Truths about Fulfilment, Love and Success is a crucial intervention for a society that is going in the wrong direction, offering actionable advice to help improve your mindset.

He shows us that money and happiness aren't mutually exclusive or hard to attain for anyone, if you understand the simple principles that both are based on.

From social media to comparison culture, relationships to entrepreneurship, Steven borrows from his own inspiring success story and teaches us how we can attain long-lasting fulfilment in our modern, hyper-connected landscape.

Zusammenfassung

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

We are losing ourselves. We're chasing the wrong things, asking the wrong questions, and polluting our minds. It's time to stop, it's time to resist and it's time to rethink the fundamental social blueprint that our lives are built upon.

'As an 18-year-old, black, broke, lonely, insecure, university drop-out, from a bankrupt family, I wrote in my diary that I wanted to be a 'Happy Sexy Millionaire' by the age of 25. By 25 I was a multi-millionaire having created a business worth over $300m dollars. Ironically, in achieving everything I set out to, I learnt that I was wrong about almost everything... The world had lied to me. It lied to me about how you attain fulfilment, love and success, why those things matter, and what those words actually mean.

In this book, I'll dismantle the most popular, unaddressed lies about happiness that we've been led to believe. I'll expose the source of these lies, examine the incentives that fuel them and replace them with a practical set of scientifically proven and unconventional ideas that will help you to live a truly fulfilled life, a life full of the love you seek and the success you deserve.'
