ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Happy by Derren Brown offers a compelling exploration into the nature of happiness and how we can achieve it. The book delves into the idea that our reactions and interpretations of events, rather than the events themselves, are the primary drivers of our unhappiness. Drawing on ancient wisdom, particularly the principles of Stoic philosophy, Brown examines how the stories we tell ourselves shape our emotional landscape. He guides readers through understanding these narratives and learning to take control of them. The book suggests that by recognizing the power of our judgments, we can cultivate a more appreciative and flourishing life.
