Happy

Happy: Why more or less everything is absolutely fine

My love for Derren Brown’s work as a philosopher magician made me eager to pick up his book on happiness. I really enjoyed certain aspects of the book, and I chuckled to myself when he tore “The Secret” apart and “The Law of Attraction”. I also visualised the scenes at the Gospel Churches where he exposed the tricks that the healers do to cure people. I did get lost on occasion as he delved deep into the philosophy behind happiness, and I must admit to needing a dictionary to look up certain words during every chapter.

But overall I learned a lot from this book, and it was a good read. Am I happier for reading this book? I don’t think so, but it certainly opened my eyes to a world that I knew nothing about.
