A Little Happier: Notes for reassurance by Derren Brown

5.0

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.
