The Equation of Happiness

Personalized Tools to Optimize Your Happiness

About the Book

Mathematical models are used to build bridges, predict the weather, and design aircraft.

However, the greater field of mathematics has never been truly exercised to model

individual behaviors. Dr. Glenn Gebert makes the argument that such models are not only

possible but can be formulated. His groundbreaking approach illuminates a greater

understanding of happiness through the lens of mathematics.

While the Equation of Happiness itself is somewhat complex, it is not necessary to be a

mathematician or scientist to enjoy and benefit from the book. Dr. Gebert explains the

phenomena being modeled through examples and anecdotes, which allow all readers to

understand the concepts without focusing on the mathematical details. Dr. Gebert argues

that just as mathematical models predict weather patterns or economic trends, they can

also be applied to predict and analyze the dynamics of human happiness.

The book introduces the concept of 'happiness elements'; – factors that contribute to an

individual's state of well-being – and demonstrates how these variables interact in complex

ways. The book explores how various factors like relationships, learning, health, and

responsibilities can be mathematically related to an individual’s level of happiness.

He presents case studies and hypothetical scenarios to illustrate how the equation can be

applied in real-life situations, offering insights into making choices that maximize happiness.

The book does not just stay in the realm of theory; it provides practical tools and strategies

for individuals to assess and increase their happiness with their unique and personalized

Equation of Happiness. Dr. Gebert’s work is a thought-provoking blend of psychology,

mathematics, and philosophy, offering a novel approach to an age-old quest – the pursuit of

happiness. It challenges readers to rethink how they view their personal happiness and

provides a fascinating lens through which to examine one's life decisions.

The book has a companion, free, website (equationofhappiness.com) that offers the means

to generate your personal Equation of Happiness, and then solve it. It provides suggestions

on where you personally should focus to maximize your growth in happiness.

About the Author

Glenn Gebert
Glenn Gebert

Dr. Glenn Gebert has his Ph. D. in Aerospace Engineering and has spent the last 35 years of his career optimizing advanced weapons systems for the United States military. He is an expert in the field of Multi-Disciplinary Optimization and Design (MDIO), where he has generated sophisticated mathematical models of the aerodynamics, propulsion, guidance, and structures to determine optimal vehicle designs to perform their mission.


Dr. Gebert has now employed his knowledge and experience to create the Equation of Happiness, which is specifically tailorable and creates a unique model for each person. The mathematics encompass the multiple factors that contribute to happiness and establish their relationships with each other and the overall happiness level. Using the system of equations, all major and minor life decisions can be examined to determine the best approach that will set you on the trajectory for optimal happiness.


Dr. Gebert has the unique ability to generate the mathematical formulae required to model complex systems and explain them in straightforward ways to persons not holding advanced degrees in mathematics. He has been working on the Equation of Happiness for the past 12 years, and it is now ready for distribution to all that need it.
