Derren Brown: Self Help Doesn't Always Work

#derrenbrown #happiness #self help Derren Brown is many things - hypnotist, mentalist, magician, author, painter. Now, he’s turned his hand to the hardest trick of all - making us happy. In this conversation with Hannah MacInnes, he shares what he’s learnt. Derren's TV specials - Mind Control, Trick of the Mind, Trick or Treat, Russian Roulette, Hero At 30,000 Feet, Apocalypse, Sacrifice and Miracle - have achieved cult status, as have his books - Tricks of the Mind, Confessions of a Conjuror, Happy and Happier.

In PART 1 of his How To Academy Event, Derren discusses Stoicism, its strengths and its limits. As he does so, he dismantles the notion of ’self’ and goal-setting, and addresses how controlling what we can control over emotions and understanding the complexity of happiness will make your life better.
