About this listen

Are you anxious and not sure why?

If you answer yes, then that’s completely normal; you are human! Our brains aren’t evolved for the complexities and complications of modern life.

So for his next trick, Derren Brown will reboot your brain, with the help of world-renowned experts. By drawing on wisdom and insights from modern psychology to ancient philosophy, Derren demonstrates how you can rise above your brain’s limitations and think yourself into a more fulfilling, less anxiety-ridden and perhaps happier life.

Since then, his name has become synonymous with the art of psychological manipulation. Amongst a varied TV career, Derren has played Russian Roulette live, convinced middle-managers to commit armed robbery, led the nation in a séance, stuck viewers at home to their sofas and successfully predicted the National Lottery. He has won various awards, including a BAFTA, an RTS Award and two Olivier Awards. In 2017, Derren made his stage debut in New York with his show Secret, winning the 2018 NY Drama Desk award for Unique Theatrical Entertainment. As an author, he has received much praise for his best-selling books, Tricks of the Mind, Confessions of a Conjuror and Happy. After a successful run of his latest theatre show, Derren Brown: Showman in 2021, he is currently preparing for Showman 2022, which kicks off in March 2022.

Does anybody know of the song played at 29minutes on the second episode. This is as far as I have got so it would be unfair of me to make a judgment at this point but if anybody knows the song… because it’s eating me up inside then that would be great. Thanks

So iv listened to this 2 times allready and am going back for my 2nd on the bootcamp for the brain. Iv since listened to the book "Happy" aswell and can not recomend this more to everyone. I like to think of myself as pritty crytical and willing to see things from a outside perspective(as a Martain) giveing fair consideration at all the external and internal mechanics behind every situation. Being a buding socioligist this is what we do! But. The stoics are new to me. And some of the reflections and ways in which to alter how we precive difrent sercumstances and life enevatabilitys is the most revolutionary change my mind has gone trough since my academic enlightenment. ALSO the manour in which this podcast is done is great for those of us with a "touch of the tizum" the funnys are actualy helerious the part abough the procrastinators had me in belly checkles. The guests are refreshing. The little tasks and tests are egauging. As to be expected from derren brown this is well tought out and calculated. That's not to say thire is any hypnotisatiom or elusive sudjestion I play hear. He has a what seems genuine interest in thise topics and dose well to expand not only the listeners knowlage but allso his own through this proses. I absolutely recommend this to people.... Bravo.

Genuinely unbelievably helpful is so many ways.

Really enjoyed this podcast, I love the way Darren's mind works and how he explains situations, problems etc. I found that being open minded in some (not all) of the episodes made it easier to understand and I have know shame so I had to research a few things just so I could get a better understanding which I'm very glad I did, as I enjoyed the episodes even more.

Good listen

What a great listen. Darren brown has always been a good communicator and the sound design adds that little punch that holds your attention. I've recommended this to a lot of friends and family and surely recommend it to you reading this, if you're into self development.

Presented thoughtfully and beautifully crafted. Highly recommend this, though I’m always keen to hear what Derren Brown has to say on philosophy.

Thoughtful and well put together
