Attempting to mimic code for Objects - Call and Apply

I have copied this code from the Objects - Call and Apply lesson but I keep getting the following error: Uncaught ReferenceError: Invalid left-hand side in assignment. It says this is at line 10 which is the console.log("Hello, " + name +

Where have I gone wrong? 

var jim = { 
    name: "Jim", 
    skills: ["Javascript", "HTML", "CSS"],
    "favourite color": "green",
    greet: function (name, mood) {
        name = name || "You";   
        mood = mood || "good";  
        console.log("Hello, " + name +
                    "I am " + this.name +
                    " and I am in a " + mood = " mood!");
    }
};

jim.greet();

This is the problematic part:

" and I am in a " + mood = " mood!");

That = should be a +.
