About the creator
Born in Croydon in 1971, Derren’s big break came in 1999 when he was asked by Channel 4 to put a TV show together – Derren Brown: Mind Control. Since then, his name has become synonymous with the art of psychological manipulation. Amongst a varied TV career, Derren has played Russian Roulette live, convinced middle-managers to commit armed robbery, led the nation in a séance, stuck viewers at home to their sofas and successfully predicted the National Lottery. He has won various awards, including a BAFTA, an RTS Award and two Olivier Awards. In 2017, Derren made his stage debut in New York with his show Secret, winning the 2018 NY Drama Desk award for Unique Theatrical Entertainment. As an author, he has received much praise for his best-selling books, Tricks of the Mind, Confessions of a Conjuror and Happy. He is currently preparing for Showman, a new UK tour.

Brilliantly beneficial. I highly recommend!
Witty, engaging, and beneficial.
I have previously read and listened to Darren Brown's book "Happy", and found that to be illuminating and profoundly helpful. This series is completely separate, but also a lovely addition to that. It identifies and breaks down our thought processes, helping us to take control of making decisions and so live a more conscious life. With pandemic life becoming quite a grind for me, it was the perfect time to listen to this and regain authorship. Plus, the episodes are just the right length and very well produced. Thank you, Derren.

Are you listening to this, brain?
A fascinating account of how the mind operates and how it can be influenced and understood. Has so much information I may have to listen again.

Loved it
An excellent psychological insight into the human brain. I'm sure there's a lot of things here that anyone with a historical interest or qualification in behavioural science will already know, but for others like me who don't, it's likely to be a fascinating and valuable listen.

Thought provoking
Good pacing, helps to formalise a lot of intuitive dilemmas. A good, short series for those interested in understanding their psychology through behavioural science.

It's really great
We really enjoyed listening to it. It is mainly about the science behind the subject, explaining how our brain is wired.

Derren's on form!
Presented by the man himself with typical panache this is an entertaining and concise digest of why we think what we think, and do what we do. It is a lively reworking of Kahneman's "Thinking, fast and slow." Well worth listening to with some surprising twists.
