Why More or Less Everything is Absolutely Fine

Derren Brown

In 'Happy: Why More or Less Everything is Absolutely Fine,' Derren Brown delves into the concept of happiness from various angles, drawing on influences from Stoicism, philosophy, literature, and modern psychology. The book is divided into three sections: 'Beginnings,' which discusses the stories we tell ourselves and the problems with self-help; 'Solutions,' which explores living a considered life, dealing with emotions, and regaining control over our narratives; and 'Happy Endings,' which addresses the fear of death and how to live in the present. Brown argues that true happiness is not found in material goods or external events but in accepting the indifference of the universe and finding contentment in the present moment[2][4][5].
