Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Happiness is impossible to define and illusory. How then are we to lead happier lives?
In A Little Happier Derren Brown condenses the lessons of his international best seller Happy into 17 beautifully wrought, wise and profoundly reassuring mini-chapters, each one challenging us to think differently so as to overcome anxiety in a difficult world.
None of this is real when each of us tells stories about our lives in too tidy narratives that are seldom true and rarely helpful.
We should be wary of goal setting: long-term goals fixate us on a future that may not happen and we may not wish for when we get there.
Our partner isn't right for us because no-one is. None of us is born for someone else. But perhaps those areas of frequent conflict are useful indicators of where we might ourselves be insufferable.
Life is hard, messy and complex; our friends will probably let us down; most of what has got us here is blind luck and a series of false starts. But if we can learn to separate what we can control - our thoughts and actions - from all else beyond our control, we can find a surer footing with which to greet the world.

A bite sized piece of gold
Provides a bit of summary of Derren Brown’s main book “Happy”. It provides the best of the ideas and concepts from the previous book, but in a brief format. I was constantly kept engaged and in awe by Derren’s flamboyant writing skills. I can’t recommend this book enough.

Wonderful.
Having read, over the years, numerous “classics” that would, rightfully or otherwise, find themselves in the genre of ‘self help’, this beautiful little tome is simply the best I am yet to encounter.
It’s predecessor, ‘Happy’ is, of course, also truly worthy… and highly recommended. However, ‘A little Happier’ is a gentle, bite sized, yet still highly valuable, foray in to the practices of stoicism.
I have, and shall continue to, gift this book to those friends and family that I feel could potentially learn something new in which to truly make themselves, and those around them, a little happier.
In the mean time, I will also continue to listen to the audio version (despite being fortunate enough to have a signed hard copy in my possession) as it never fails to provide something new for me to reflect upon…. But also provide the joy of hearing Derren narrate, which is a joy in and of itself.
Highly recommended. To everyone!
