Happy

Book of the Week

Happy: Why More or Less Everything is Absolutely Fine by Derren Brown is not your typical self-help book. It takes you on a trip back in time, right into ancient philosophy.

Brown talks about the Stoics, ancient philosophers who thought we worry too much about things we can't control. A Stoic says, "You can't stop the rain, but you can bring an umbrella." It's about changing your view, not the world.

The modern world tells us to strive for more - more money, more likes, more everything. But what if 'more' isn't making us happy? Brown challenges this idea. He asks, "What if we already have enough?"

He also tackles big questions. Why are we here? What's the meaning of life? Heavy stuff, right? But Brown handles it with humor and style. It's a deep dive into happiness, what it means, and how we can find it.

Read Happy and you might start to see the world, and your place in it, a little differently. It's a surprising book - part philosophy, part self-help, all thought-provoking. What does it mean to be happy? Brown might just have some answers.
