Happy: Why More or Less Everything Is Absolutely Fine by Derren Brown

What does it actually mean to be happy? In Happy, illusionist and author Derren Brown explores the philosophy of happiness, drawing on ideas from ancient Stoicism and modern psychology to question common assumptions about what makes a good life.

Brown examines how expectations, anxiety and our attitudes towards events can influence our wellbeing. Blending philosophical ideas with humour and practical examples, he offers an alternative perspective on dealing with life's uncertainties.

An engaging introduction to Stoic philosophy and the pursuit of a more contented life.
