Quick little read with some good reminders of his bigger book.

I love Derren Brown and his beautiful mind. A great and short look at life. And I mean short in a good way. The points were easily understood and really made you think about how this world really isn't so bad and that people are better than you think. The human mind is a complicated place but it makes people who they are.

I'll reread this in ebook form or if I can get my hands on a physical copy Ill get one since I want to note and highlight many sentences!

Derren Brown really does talk a lot of sense.
That's probably all that I need to write. This little book explains Derren's philosophy of life, which is heavily based in Stoicism. Rather than chase often unachievable goals and endless acquisitions, he argues that to live a happier life we need to realise that we cannot control the future. Instead we should accept that which we cannot control and try to manage our judgement of events rather than the events themselves.
If there's one thing we know about Derren Brown it's that he really understands what makes human beings tick. Full of wisdom and insight, I'd recommend this to everyone.
