What a wonderful opportunity to hear what Derren Brown has to say on his philosophy of life; especially with Alan de Botton who wrote the book, "Status Anxiety". A great combination of minds. Loved it!!
Derren Brown videos remind me how to live my life again for a day or so. This time it was 'Allow yourself to ... change your character, change the story.'
Wow! This is so brilliant! I got scared for a minute because I thought he was going to place Alan Watts in the self serving category which I would really disagree with haha! Im so happy after seeing this video! I always wanted to hear some of Derrens philosophy!
It looks like they called each other before the interview to match their clothes almost exactly!! Like a mirrored picture 😂 Beside both being very intelligent and interesting when they say anything. Very enjoyable. My favourite two
Alain's body language through 10:00 onwards is almost indifferent, as if to say "yes, i have thought all of this before but you can explain it to everyone else"
14:27 i love derren but i don't really understand this point- how is one expected to achieve something they want to do if they don't actually believe they can do it and keep working at it? And second question, are we never supposed to actually feel happy, just neutral? i love almost everything he has to say but i don't think those two points resonate with me
LongLiveInspiration That's not the point he was making. He's not offering an alternative to "believe you can do something and you will achieve it", he's simply saying that this is no guarantee whatsoever of success. Millions are spent on self-books which boil down to this simple guidance. We put trust in them because they are written by people who have "achieved", but it clearly does not work for everyone. Derren isn't offering advice on achieving something; he's merely saying the advice offered isn't a guarantee of success.
+LongLiveInspiration with second question, its not that's you're never supposed to feel happy but rather that you have a natural state of happiness and life will deviate yourself from that line, but we always return to that line and being below their natural state of contentment/happiness for prolonged periods of time are what we would call depression. Life shouldn't be about always being above that line of happiness but rather keeping yourself around that line and looking at that line rather as content, more so than "neutral"

Let's just get this out of the way shall we: is there such thing as magic? If only that was a jumping off point for meaningful conversation with more than 0.01 percent of the population! My experience is it tends to get stuck there with both gullible believers and pseudo intellectuals and goes no further...
+Julian Walker Suggesting; sleights; misdirection; dexterity with the ability to perform tricks at ease is what falls under magic. Psychology some of it is used for magic and parapsychology is in reality involved in MagicK. Not Magic but Magick..spelled differently. Although if for anyone its fictional just because its occult (hidden) its still something that separates it apart from magic. In any case Hypnosis is one of those tricks which is magick because it involves the supernatural. Now by what you understand with supernatural becomes your next question i guess? I already gave you a hint with parapsychology but everything that is related to altered states of consciousness becomes Magick. Occult magick best way to describe it is consciousness doing the work on its own causing the chain of effects and therefore its does the magic onto its self which kind of upgrades the sense of phenomena of what we are seeing. In this case the performer is just the one who just presses the button or just give it the push in sort of way by triggering those set of emotions within the person just like music does. Music is very ordinary thing yet it works simply just like Magick and there is a whole universal literature behind music in the occult. However metaphysically it goes deeper than that to the etheric and astral energies and if someone could manage somehow to manipulate and control those energies either with demonology; technology or meditation etc then its operating within the magicK arena. Metaphysics is not for everyone and for many it just begins to instill that fear of no sense of control and the recognition of more self- responsibility . What is suggestibility ? Why are some people more emotional/open/suggestible than others and what triggers then the hypnotic effect? So i hope you got it because consciousness it what defines you ; me and everyone else and this whole universe and the only thing that is holding us all of us together is this thing called- magicK! So Magic exist; Without it WE WOULDNT EXIST!
They are both as bold as they are talented. They are very talented.
Lance Watt did I say bold I meant bald.
I couldn't agree more! :)
Phenomenal interview. Derren Brown has such wonderful things to say and is so well spoken.
Two of my favourite academics in a room, discussing life.
Academic. Wet. Dream come true.
What a wonderful opportunity to hear what Derren Brown has to say on his philosophy of life; especially with Alan de Botton who wrote the book, "Status Anxiety". A great combination of minds. Loved it!!
Great, would really like to see the full version of this.
Derren Brown videos remind me how to live my life again for a day or so. This time it was 'Allow yourself to ... change your character, change the story.'
Perfect, Absolutely perfect.
So much mirroring body language. Love Derren's stuff!
Omg, two of my favourite people talking about super interesting things! A dream come true :)
Derren Brown being interviewed by his stunt double.
dam, i read your comment and my tea came out my noise. nice one !!
Paige Kennedy LOL
Very similarly dressed. Similar mannerisms.
Paige Kennedy 😂😂😂
You don't interview derren brown, nor do you talk with derren brown. You simply listen to derren brown.
This.
apart from this interviewer so it seems! :-(
"Life is a piece of music. You are supposed to dance along the way." Well-said :)
I loved that!
Just started reading Derren's book "Happy". Highly recommendable!
two of my favourite people
Would love to see a SoL video about skepticism, especially if Derren was guest speaking.
This man is a genius!
Aren't both of them?
I don't know the interviewer
Derren putting his host at ease with clothing....
Really enjoyable interview shame it wasnt longer.
Love these two people! This kind of reminds me of the Rhodes Boysons sketch on a bit of fry and laurie.
Very good interview
That was the nicest way of saying suggestible is kind of gullible.
Wow that was great
HE MENTIONED ALAN WATTS OMG DERREN BROWN HAS MAJOR BROWNIE POINTS NOW!
Glad someone's on the same page as me
+Shawn Williams he knows Alan Watts yet Derren is Atheist which is stupid. There is no spiritualist who is atheist so Derren is a bit confused
Love the Alan watts reference, you should do a video about him! :)
*nods* Thank you very much indeed!
Real thinking here.
life is like a piece of music because you're supposed to dance along the way
I just fucking love that line, it's poetry.
Wow! This is so brilliant!
I got scared for a minute because I thought he was going to place Alan Watts in the self serving category which I would really disagree with haha!
Im so happy after seeing this video! I always wanted to hear some of Derrens philosophy!
It looks like they called each other before the interview to match their clothes almost exactly!! Like a mirrored picture 😂
Beside both being very intelligent and interesting when they say anything. Very enjoyable. My favourite two
He's like the Bob Ross of magic!
Interesting!
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW DERREN IN SKINNY JEANS WAS I THING I WANTED BUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+SWAGGERDISS jesus dude...
Derren your rant was the most beautiful and confusing thing
eyeopening.
Derren Brown quoting Alan Watts.... EPIC!
Two of my very favorite people - mirroring the f*ck out of each other! Even more noticeable when they look and dress alike.
wow❤
Stop interrupting Derren while he's in mid thought
Just work out on right day I felt a certain way
"life is what happens while you're busy making other plans" - John Lennon
I'd be really interested in a self-help book written by him.
+Erik Dobell Derren Brown - 'Tricks of the Mind'
You have one now. It's called "Happy".
does anyone know the title of the book he talks about ? cheers
Happy, the title of the book
anybody know the name of the Book Derren was talking about ??
It's Called Happy, He has released it .
magic...
Is there an unedited version of this video?
Enjoyed that, would like to hear their thoughts on hairloss though eheahrhaerhaehr just bantering :D
I see that they both, more or less, do the only reasonable thing with hair loss: shave.
So did he guess the right card or not?
bearwoodcarpentry lol.
This hairstyle fits Derren better
11:00 Who did Derren Brown mention when he said "ad interim"?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Schopenhauer
Paul Smith Awesome. Thank you so much.
Someone is suggestible here - same hair, same clothes ?
I got confused who was who on this talk
@FloodBoardWorld I agree Derren is just raking over was already been said in books, tv, talks etc yeah I agree it felt awkward
WHAT? only 15 mins. and it was just getting interesting.
Alain's body language through 10:00 onwards is almost indifferent, as if to say "yes, i have thought all of this before but you can explain it to everyone else"
That twitch of Derren's is out of control lol
+Trickster Would you twitch if you were as intellengent as him? ...Silly qu
estion...you will never know!
8:52 when you see it, bricks will be shat
Suggestibility exercise?
probably
A Ghost woman! HAHAHAHA ^_^ Thanks for the laugh! Made my day and good observation!
lol the honour is mine :P
+Reddust86 Lol, the only reason I looked in the comments was to see if anyone else noticed... Nice.
They should ask Sadguru about happiness and life
14:27 i love derren but i don't really understand this point- how is one expected to achieve something they want to do if they don't actually believe they can do it and keep working at it? And second question, are we never supposed to actually feel happy, just neutral? i love almost everything he has to say but i don't think those two points resonate with me

ahhh that makes sense. thanks for that!

DERREN WEARING SKINNY JEANS
Yeah nah I can’t really disagree with Derren here on this one therefore he is right in many different aspects but can one be truely truthful?
8:52
why are they wearing the same clothes?
A man once burned a newspaper on British got talent or so - Energy control, we have electricity inside us

derren talking to derren .......
Why is Derren Brown talking to himself
is it me or are they wearing the exact same clothes?
The interviewer interrupts and comments way too much. Ask a question then be quiet.
Let's just get this out of the way shall we: is there such thing as magic?
If only that was a jumping off point for meaningful conversation with more than 0.01 percent of the population!

Oh, so Derren Brown turned in to Jason Statham then. 0:15
Derren talks of 'new work'; yet it seems to consist of a lot of the stuff that Alain has covered already... I find that kind of awkward.
Etc.
Two grandmasters talking it out. What a privilege.
brothers, separated from birth ^_^
Derren is wrong. There IS magic. Mind is magic.
THEY LOOK ALIKE . ITS DISTURBING .
YES THERE IS REAL MAGIC AND BROWN USES IT DURING ALL HIS SHOWS. IT IS HOW HE GOT HIMSELF TO HERE AND WHAT ALSO PUTS HIM IN HELL!!!!!
I think he's on coke, and I love Derren
That doesnt make any sense whatsoever based off this interview
...er...waffle...
New title;
Watch Derren ramble on for 14 minutes about nonsense
SluGEesTuBUL
Magician will never be successful
You don't interview derren brown, nor do you talk with derren brown. You simply listen to derren brown.
Derren Brown quoting Alan Watts.... EPIC!
