Overview
That Little Voice In Your Head: Adjust the Code that Runs Your Brain is a practical self-help guide from Mo Gawdat, the internationally bestselling author of Solve for Happy. Drawing on his own experience, Gawdat treats the human mind like a piece of software that can be understood and reprogrammed. This paperback edition offers straightforward exercises and honest reflection designed to quieten negative self-talk and build a calmer, more contented daily life.

About the Book
Mo Gawdat opens with a simple premise: to fix a malfunctioning machine, you first need to understand what has gone wrong with it, and the same logic applies to human unhappiness. Drawing on his engineering background and years as a senior Google executive, he treats the mind as a system running old, faulty "code" inherited from evolution, upbringing and modern life. That Little Voice In Your Head breaks down how negative self-talk, comparison, fear and greed are learned patterns rather than fixed traits, and shows how they can be identified and rewritten. Gawdat guides readers through practical exercises that reframe apathy as compassion, scarcity as generosity, and anxious rumination as calm clarity. He blends personal anecdotes with accessible psychological insight, avoiding jargon in favour of clear, actionable steps. The tone is warm but direct, encouraging readers to treat their own thoughts with curiosity rather than judgment. Rather than promising instant transformation, the book presents happiness as a skill trained over time through small, consistent changes, suiting anyone who feels trapped by an overly critical inner monologue.
