Derren Brown: Only Control What You Can Control

#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 2 of his How To Academy Event, Derren addresses how happiness (and unhappiness) is linked to the messy parts of life, self-esteem and the weight of existence - how we shouldn’t take things for granted, and how controlling what we can control is the key not only to Stoicism but also to happiness.

Brilliant outlook. I've thought this way for a long time and am surprised there is someone out there thinking this as well. Very interesting!
