How to rediscover happiness and reboot your life.
We are taught that the "right" career, the "right" marriage, and the "right" faith are the blueprints for a joyful life. Yet, for many, the reality is a persistent and gnawing sense that even after we've checked most of the proverbial boxes, something is still missing. So why do we keep doubling down on the scripts that fail to deliver on the promise of happiness?
In this provocative and conversational interrogation of modern life, C-suite executive, professor, and advisor Craig Robinson identifies three structural "pundits" that often hold our happiness hostage: career, faith, and relationships. Drawing on his research, years of professional coaching, and leadership experience, The Happiness Reboot explores how societal pressures and subconscious scripts keep us from feeling true fulfillment. Rather than offering a "get happy quick" formula, this book provides simple yet effective frameworks to replace your deepest-held convictions with a spirit of curiosity. It takes you on a self-guided journey through difficult introspective questions to help you discover your authentic truth.
For those who have tried to do everything "right" but still feel happiness eluding them, this book is the first step on your new path. Open it up, dismantle the status quo that's holding you back, and replant your roots in an authentic, sustainable, and fulfilling truth.

Critical Reviews
"Robinson's ability to synthesize the familiar with the academic, in ways that allow the reader to relate to the material while constantly being surprised by its insights, make The Happiness Reboot both an entertaining and stimulating read. His rich life experience provides the perfect framework for his keen observational intellect to take us on a journey to discover where true fulfillment lies, after we shed the preconceived notions and beliefs that tend to obscure most people's paths."
-Saladin K. Patterson, television producer and showrunner, Frasier, The Bernie Mac Show, The Big Bang Theory, The Last O.G., Dave, The Wonder Years, King of the Hill
"In The Happiness Reboot, Craig takes the kinds of questions most of us avoid-about how we work, who we love, and what we believe-and treats them as the starting point for a more intentional life. It's thoughtful without being preachy, challenging without being judgmental, and deeply aligned with how I think about building a portfolio life."
-Christina Wallace, author, The Portfolio Life; senior lecturer, Harvard Business School; speaker
"With The Happiness Reboot, Craig has produced an essential contribution to the literature on well being by offering a profound invitation to the reader to re-examine the structural foundations of their joy and fulfillment. He combines emotional depth with intellectual rigor and research to offer a crystallizing insight available to all: true and enduring happiness is out there for us, but only at our most deliberate and courageous."
-Greg Shell, managing partner and Head of Inclusive Growth Strategy, Goldman Sachs
"After finishing Craig's book, my first thought was: If I could suddenly be a fresh naked baby again, what are all the inputs I would control to create a happy, satisfied, and fulfilled adult me? He questions many things we don't typically dig deep enough into, inspiring curiosity and exploration. For anyone ready for that journey, Craig's book is a wonderful guide."
-Miguel McKelvey, cofounder, WeWork; cofounder, Unbound; partner, American Giant
"Craig's book weaves timeless insights from great thinkers on happiness and purpose-like Viktor Frankl-with his lived reality of navigating a demanding career and the many opportunities and complexities life places before us. He calls on us to define a through line not by traditional measures of success, but by a deeper understanding of who we are, what we're capable of, and what truly matters. It shows how committing to that path can become a powerful source of happiness."
