‘Deeply informative, shifting, wise and full of love’

Alain de Botton

Everyone says they want to be happy. But that’s much more conveniently said than carried out. What does becoming happy in fact mean? And how will you even understand when you are feeling it?

Over the millennia, philosophers have thought long and hard about happiness. They have defined it in many different ways and come up with myriad approaches for living the nice life..Read More about Happy: Why More or Less Everything is Absolutely Fine Drawing on this huge body of function, in Happy Derren Brown explores changing ideas of happiness – from the surprisingly modern intelligence from the Stoics and Epicureans in classical situations right up until today, when the self-help sector has attempted to claim happiness as its own. He shows just how many of self-help’s suggested routes to pleasure and success – such as positive thinking, self-belief and establishing goals – can be disastrous to follow and, indeed, actually cause panic. This amazing, candid and deeply amusing publication exposes the defects in these means of considering, and in return poses challenging but stimulating questions about how exactly we select to live and just how we consider death.

Happy aims to reclaim happiness also to enable all of us to appreciate the good things in life, in all their transient glory. By taking control of the tales we tell ourselves, by keeping in mind that ‘everything’s good’ even when it might not feel that method, we can enable ourselves to flourish and to live more happily.
