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.

About the creator

Born in Croydon in 1971, Derren’s big break came in 1999 when he was asked by Channel 4 to put a TV show together – Derren Brown: Mind Control. 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.

Didn't know much about Darren Brown before this. The audible gave a good top level overview of the topics covered.

Great top level overview!

As it says on the tin, a really great boot camp. His first boot camp set me off on a life altering journey through Stoicism and this was a fantastic booster to keep me on the path. Also just really funny!

I love Derren's previous work, especially his book "Happy", and this builds upon the information and advice I gained from them. His narration is utterly charming. I could go on and on but I wouldn't read it if I were you, so I'll just whole-heartedly recommend that you give this a listen (I have given the same advice to my whole family, as many friends as possible, and generally anyone I can get to listen). Go on. Just one episode. You won't regret it.

Enjoy!

Just fantastic. Treat yourself.

I usually avoid self help books, podcasts and so on like the plague, I always find they make me feel inadequate and overwhelmed with different approaches but when I saw Derren as a long term fan I had to give it a go.

Loved it, Derren is naturally funny and covers concepts and tips without being patronising. Very enjoyable and couldn't help but binge a few episodes. Hope he does more!

Enjoyable & Comforting
