This is Brilliant!

This is well worth a listen; Darren brings his debonair style to the genre of self help with total success. I’ve listened to hundreds of self help books and I really enjoyed this. He can hold his own amongst my favourites like Louise L Hay, Thich Nhat Hanh and Eckhart Tolle. Giving an overview of advice with input from other authors, it is both enlightening and entertaining. I have always watched Derren Brown with fascination and admiration of both his amazing skills, and his ethics, and I’m so glad he is doing these Audibles. And I just love his sense of humour.

Nothing particularly new - but good

I really like Derren Brown and have listened to both of his Boot Camps. I am not in the field of brain science or psychology but even to me, little of this was new info. Didn’t stop it being entertaining though and a useful reminder in some cases. Love his humour too

Fun and uplifting, informative.

Derren presents us with simple, functional and often, fun ways to live happier lives.
Less of a self-help lecture and more of a presentation of various tools which we can select to use to improve or simply accept our situation, and be happier about it in the long-term.

Rewiring your brain's software

In his latest podcast series, "Derren Brown's Bootcamp for Life," the renowned mentalist and illusionist explores the inner workings of the human mind and offers practical strategies for coping with the stresses and anxieties of modern life. Through a series of engaging and informative interviews with experts in psychology and philosophy, Derren delves into the underlying causes of anxiety and provides actionable advice for cultivating happiness and well-being.

Each episode of the podcast is approximately 30 minutes long, making it a convenient and enjoyable listen for busy individuals seeking to improve their mental and emotional well-being. The series is thoughtfully produced and features soothing, calming elements that make it an enjoyable and relaxing listening experience.

While the podcast promises to help listeners rid themselves of anxiety and become happier, it should be noted that the effectiveness of these strategies may vary from person to person. However, those who are willing to engage with the material and put the ideas into practice may find that they are able to better manage their stress and emotions and lead a more fulfilling, joyous life.

Enjoyable & Comforting

I usually avoid self help books, podcasts and so on like the plague, I always find they make me feel inadequate and overwhelmed with different approaches but when I saw Derren as a long term fan I had to give it a go.

Loved it, Derren is naturally funny and covers concepts and tips without being patronising. Very enjoyable and couldn't help but binge a few episodes. Hope he does more!

Good summary of stoicism

This was an easy and entertaining listen and a quick reminder of stoic philosophy for living a good and happy life.

"An elephant with a rider on top."

Another fascinating series of eight approximately half-hour ponderings on life and how to make it better by Derren Brown and guests. He covers such topics as The Importance of Being Idle, (reasons to be idle, one, two, three), Hell is other People, and As Time Goes By. Each sections is accompanied by some gentle, hoping music, reminiscent of a fairground or circus, and is narrated by Derren Brown himself, his carefully articulated voice a real pleasure to hear coming, as it seems to be, with a smile behind it and occasional inserted jokes.
Did I learn anything from it? Probably not, but then I am older, I suspect, than most of the target audience. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely.
Darren Brown's Boot Camp for Life is available to Audible.UK member free of charge via the Audio Plus scheme.
